Last night as I prayed considering what I would write today, I settled on writing about fear, because I was becoming fearful about a few upcoming events. But when I thought about it this morning, my focus shifted. Read a story with me. Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and acts on them …
Our worship leader asked us to listen to this song: The Blood. As I listened I remembered thinking, as a new believer, how freaky it was singing, “What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.” Or when the priest, as he presented the wine, would say, “Take this, all of you, …
I want to explore the meaning of Jesus saying He is the way. The scripture we find this in is John 14:6. Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”John 14:6 CSB Any scripture taken by itself is powerful, but it is …
One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (nicknamed the Twin), was not with the others when Jesus came. They told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands, put my fingers into them, and place my hand into the wound in his …

I read a lot of stories and my favorites are always love stories. I know I’m not alone in this. Have you ever wondered why romance novels are so popular? I may have an idea. Have you ever heard the phrase “the greatest story ever told”? It’s actually the title of a movie, filmed in …
I’m starting to listen what my word for next year will be and the first contender that came to mind was the word: written. The scriptures that came with it are as follows: See, I have written your name on the palms of my hands... Isaiah 49:16 NLT (Some translations say engraved or transcribed.) …
My original title for this post was Can You Be Christian and Not Be Judgmental?. This is a topic I struggle with myself. I put off addressing the topic out of fear of being judged. LOL! But it is an important topic and one we shouldn’t shy away from. The short answer to my question …
So the Lord answers, “Can a woman forget her own baby and not love the child she bore? Even if a mother should forget her child, I will never forget you.” Isaiah 49:15 GNT This weekend was spent with some of my kids and grandkids. Time spent with family is time I treasure, but since …
