Our first house had a row of Russian Olive trees and a walkway full of Barberry bushes. The trees were obnoxious because A) they do not produce olives you could eat, which would have been awesome, and B) they grow super sharp 3 inch thorns. The Barberry were similarly dangerous- sharp prickly thorns made pruning …
“I thirst“- Jesus. He must have been horribly dehydrated. Can you think of a time when you’ve experienced extreme thirst? It’s hard because we are fortunate to have access to drinking water most anywhere we go. We turn on a tap, carry it around with us, buy it in the store, and can get it …
When I inherited my Grandma’s pearl necklace, I took them to my favorite trusted jeweler for cleaning and appraisal. They returned them in a beautiful velvet-lined box with the words, “They’re not real, but they cleaned up beautifully.” I never forgot their kind words and actions and how much they cared for my treasure.

We’ve all known love in our lives but changing human emotions limit our love. In this week’s blog, we will soak up the essence of what “God is love” means.

It’s that time of year again- fall clean up for my yard. Part of my work included the cleaning out of my clay flower pots. While I washed them, it reminded me of the Parable of the “Potter and the Clay.”
My sister and I were out for a walk recently, and we passed an amazing mural painted on the side of a building. It’s not the style of art I’m usually attracted to, but everything about it was a bit awe-inspiring. I used it as a backdrop not only because the color and form …
My husband and I try to walk each evening when the weather and schedules allow. We can discuss current events, moments from our day, worries and concerns, and share in some laughter. It’s important to make these connections within your relationships. It also applies to the importance of walking with God.
I came across an interesting title in the book of Isaiah while doing some “Biblical wandering” this week. It is Chapter 40 and it reads “Comfort for God’s People.” A whole chapter in the Old Testament on comfort? That’s not what I was expecting when I think of the book of Isaiah. Judgment? Yes. …
