Today I am 73 years young. As I reflect back on the years, I am thankful for the important decision I made at 6 years old. My love for the Lord is even stronger today than it was then. If I could talk to that six-year-old girl, I would say “Thank you for the decision […]
Today is the third week I have not been able to make it to church. Two weeks ago I was in too much pain to go. Last week we were all snowed in and church was cancelled. Today I am suffering again from pain. Feeling a little down – I miss my church family, I […]
In our daily devotions my husband and I have been reading the book of Exodus. It was interesting to me to see that when the Israelites were delivered from bondage in Egypt God chose to not lead them directly to the land He had promised them. Rather, he led them into the wilderness. When Pharoah […]
Recently I begin studying the Tabernacle in the Old Testament. The Tabernacle of Old Testament and Our Worship Today Many who study the Bible never really look at the Old Testament and the truths of the Tabernacle found there. But much of the Bible is revealed in a study of the Tabernacle. More than 50 chapters […]
Following the Oregon Trail we came upon a large rock made of limestone. The rock stood high above the Platte River Valley. The soft limestone rock made it easy for people to carve their names in. Travelers heading for Oregon carved their names in the rock. More than 700 names are on the rock. At […]
Limbo – “an uncertain period of awaiting a decision or resolution; an intermediate state or condition.” My husband and I recently made a decision to sell our house and move from northern Illinois to Michigan. Our real estate agent told us our house would sell better if we did not have a lot of “clutter” […]
Just a few miles from my home is a sign that says “P.O.W. Camp Owosso.” The sign is outside of a oval track for car and motorcycle racing. Being new to this area, this sign caught my interest and I decided to do some research on the camp. Here is what I found. During World […]

I love to read the Gospel of Mark. His story is full of action. More about what Jesus did rather than what He said. This week as I read once again how His disciples seemed to simply not “get it” I thought: What was wrong with them? How could they be so blind – so […]
What a week this has been! Sunday evening my husband was rushed into emergency surgery for a subdural hematoma. Because of the coronavirus I could not go to the hospital with him. At 3:30 that afternoon the surgeon’s assistant called me and told me they were doing emergency surgery and without the surgery my husband […]
Growing up in a conservative church background we sang a lot of songs about the blood: There is Power in the Blood Oh the Blood of Jesus What Can Wash Away My Sins? (Nothing but the Blood of Jesus) The Blood Will Never Lose Its Power I hear less and less songs about the blood. […]
It is now four days since Christmas. I have my Christmas decorations all boxed up and downstairs in the storage room. Today I am dusting, vacuuming and doing whole house cleaning. Getting rid of the cookie crumbs in the carpet, the shiny tinsel that dropped from the tree ornaments as we took them off the […]
