Live Like Jesus… (Know when to Rest)
Previously I spent time writing about what it meant to be like Jesus. After all we’re called Christians which means Christ like, so what does Christlike mean? What was Jesus really like? I investigated several aspects of Jesus life: How he was an example of studying and knowing the word of God, how he used the…

In Deed(More than words)
When you have bad news often enough your mind becomes numb to it. You are no longer are shocked by the horrors, the numbers dead, or those that are in need. You just don’t see it anymore. It seems in America we are all inundated with bad news. We hear it so often that we…

Unchanging!
I remember as a little girl being so excited to get to weigh myself at the Publix Grocery store when my mom would take us. We just loved to see how we were growing. I could tell you that now when I walked by that scale at Publix, I do not step on it any…

Keep Looking
I couldn’t see the birds. For a few years now I’ve had a lovely comforter. I picked it out because I thought it was very beautiful. It is a bit busy though because it’s covered with flowers and foliage. After over five years of owning this comforter, I looked down this morning and was surprised…

Not My Will, But Yours Lord
Not my will but yours Lord. This phrase uttered by Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane holds great wisdom and great meaning for us as believers. There is a lesson to be learned here. Christ said these words regarding a very troubling future he knew was coming. His horrific death, the pain, and the suffering…

Where is Baby Jesus?
I was walking by the nursing mothers’ room at church on the way to the restroom. I stopped in surprise when I looked and in the room was a manger. Baby Jesus was not in the manger instead there was a box. Not what I expected to see. The question that ran through my mind “Where is baby…
