Most of us are curious and inquisitive. It’s important for us to know why something must be done, or why we should think a certain way. In fact, we are easily irritated if it takes someone too long to get to the point of any conversation. Of course, time is a factor, because we never […]
As a long-time greeting card writer, I’ve had the chance to write a lot of birthday cards. It’s an assignment that can seem fairly simple as you write the first dozen or so, but if you have to write twenty-five, let’s say, it becomes a different project. It causes you to have to really think […]
The season of autumn, arrayed in all its glory, comes with a heart of gratitude and thanksgiving. A bright chorus of gold and orange and reddish leaves trumpet the amazing things that God has done and when we choose to see it, it comes alive in living color. We are grateful then for what we […]
Hey, welcome to Clean Slate Day! This is the day you can let go of all those past miseries that keep you loaded with grief. You can rise up and be ready to shine because God’s promise to you is this. The RSV version of Lamentations 3:22-23 says: The steadfast love of the LORD never […]

Recently, I was struck by the word “faithful.” I couldn’t help thinking that faithful must mean, “full of faith.” Okay, that made me realize that it’s unlikely I’ve ever been “full” of faith.

Have you ever considered what it really means that God knew you before you even arrived on planet earth? Psalm 139 tells us that God knew us as we were knit in our mother’s womb. That means God knew when you’d be here, and what you’d do with your life. He watched over your choices, […]
