We have a promise of eternal life; but not because of the “good” we do or how righteous our life appears to others. Because eternal life is a gift; for believing that God gave selflessly, His own Son; His life, for our life. But why? Easter is around the corner, and we know it’s notContinue reading “For God So Loved the World”

When we get stuck
Have you felt “stuck” in your prayer life? Sometimes we forget the more we lean on Christ, the less stuck we become, and the softer the place is to land. But it’s hard “getting there” sometimes. I was recently hospitalized. I actually could not pull a decent prayer together in my head, I couldn’tContinue reading “When we get stuck”
Agape Love
Webster defines “agape” as being in a state of wonder. I often felt the meaning was to “love as Jesus loved,” it also involves faithfulness, commitment, and an act of the will. It is distinguished from the other types of love by its lofty moral nature and strong character. Agape love is beautifully described inContinue reading “Agape Love”
Spiritual Direction
My husband has been joking with me about a country song titled: “I could write a book about what I don’t know.” He thinks his book would be blank! I am continuing/beginning/carrying on down my spiritual path. I’ve decided that I will seek “spiritual direction.” This is not a formal or expensive endeavor, generally aContinue reading “Spiritual Direction”
It Takes Time
We are a hurry-busy-fast society. However, a hand has reached down often enough in my life that SLAMMED on the brakes, Jesus calls to me. Take more time with Me, get into the Word, tomorrow is not promised, but today — it’s here, let’s move some mountains, let’s climb to the top instead of wallowingContinue reading “It Takes Time”
Pieces of Community
In the past two days I’ve spent a good amount of time with UU’ers (Unitarian Universalists). I remain a “friend” of this community, as I had been an active participant for four years. Some Christians would tell you “don’t converse with unsaved folks.” But that NEVER made sense to me. How are you supposed toContinue reading “Pieces of Community”
Pieces of Loss
There are many variations of loss. Of life, love, a health diagnosis, home, job, and whatever it is, is the most important thing to you at the time. No one could possibly understand, even if they can relate – it’s not the same. Sometimes we don’t want empathy as much as we want someone toContinue reading “Pieces of Loss”
Pieces of Compassion
The word “compassion” is as hard to define as it is – understanding its importance. empathy; not knowing — but attempting to understand. help love care concern prayer Is it not the most important path we walk as believers – to love and support those who are in need, whatever that need may be? IsaiahContinue reading “Pieces of Compassion”
Pieces of Humility
Oh the irony!!!! While perusing our church’s small library, I was asked if I was looking for a specific subject; I held my breath for a second; hmmm……how best to answer this? Well, yes, I’m looking for a book on “Humility.” Touchy subject, isn’t it? For some, they may feel “right” or “deserving” of somethingContinue reading “Pieces of Humility”
Pieces of Peace
I held off and didn’t post this right away; to see if the world would calm down in the aftermath of the U.S. election for President. I do think on social media, 1/2 of the people are still searching to answers “why” and the other 1/2 have gotten back to work, home, their daily life. Continue reading “Pieces of Peace”
