The Candle In The Dark Published Okay, I will admit it. I have a soft spot for period pieces. Now don't get me wrong. Just because I have a soft spot doesn't mean I am not selective. I have no interest in watching people sneaking about with other people's spouses and so...
I Love You But... Published Christians use the word love a lot. We talk about the love God has for us and the love we have for God. However, we also talk about loving our spouse, our family, our friends, fellow Christians and even our neighbor. Talk is cheap. Several weeks ago,...
My Disquieting Thoughts Published In Psalm 94:19, we find the word sarappim which is sometimes translated as "thoughts". I am sure that most of us are familiar with the phrase,"lost in translation" which means that a word or phrase cannot be directly translated...
Count Your Many Blessings! Published As I was driving home earlier today, I suddenly began to think of various challenges that not only myself but my family are facing at the moment. Knowing the danger of becoming overwhelmed by these sort of thoughts, I immediately counter-attacked by...
The Arrow In God's Hands Published For the past few days I have been beseiged by a spirit of fear and anxiety in regards to a situation I am facing. Late last night and into this evening, it intensified to the point that I was felt physically sick and struggled to keep it from...

Return To The Right Path Published Sigh... "I think, he is lost," I said to myself as I followed a van filled with teenagers. The driver of the van was notorious for getting lost and actually, he knew it. In fact, he would even joke about it. The problem was, as the director...
I'm Supposed To Do What? Published Occasionally I like to visit websites where people can post recipes. Sometimes I know exactly what I am looking for but other times, I am simply browsing, looking for something new and interesting to try. Usually people who have tried the recipe are...

Get Outta The Boat! Published I blinked and took a deep breath. God wanted my husband to do what? A thousand reasons as to why he could not do that came to mind. This was not prudent. This was not reasonable. This was impossible. In fact, this seemed to be in direct defiance of...
Two Eggs Over Easy With Ham Published In the space of about 62 hours, I traveled by car from the northern part of the United States to down near the Gulf of Mexico and back again. Thankfully I did not do it alone and I only ended up driving for about seven hours. I love to travel by car...
An Opportunity To Be A Blessing! Published I do not know how many of you saw John's post on the wall a little bit ago but if you have not, you need to do so. A few minutes ago, I just read the post to my husband who is NOT a member of CB and he said, "If 40 people would donate $25.00...

When Troubles Come Your Way Published Nobody likes problems. Well, I take that back. There are some people who tingle with excitement when they encounter a problem but I think it is more about the feeling they get when they have solved or conquered the problem as opposed to the problem...
A Willing Sacrifice Published I recently watched a documentary about the journey to school that was made by children in four different parts of the world. They lived in Kenya, India, Argentina and the Himalayans. The shortest journey was about an hour and a half via horseback and...
