A Simple Life, a Childlike Faith

It’s hard to converse with people who mumble or whisper.  There are two parts to a conversation: Speaking and listening. When we are having a conversation with God, listening is more important than speaking.  Psalm 85:8 says, “I will listen to God the Lord. He has ordered peace for those who worship Him.”  The nation of…

I’m in love with a gift I was given to me months ago–a NEAT Scanner. I was told it was the best. However, I was concerned about setting it up in my computer. Finally, yesterday I bit the bullet and took it out of the box. The hardest part of the set-up was taking it out…

My favorite holiday, even as a child and young person, was Thanksgiving.  It is a time for sharing love with family and friends.  There are no gifts.  However, to quote a good friend, “It’s all about the food.” Nevertheless, as I grow older and the years of my widowhood increase, I’m often reminded that many…

In the past weeks, I’ve been going over some of the key words in our covenant relationship with God with the members of my community who are intellectually disabled.  Perhaps one of the most important words we use is grace. Most of us have learned and maybe we even remember God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense…

Today, I heard again the Christmas song about the little boy whose mother is dying on Christmas eve and he wants to buy her shoes to wear as she goes into heaven. He doesn’t have enough money to buy the shoes and a person in line gives him the money he needs. It’s never been…

Maddie is one of those people within the mentally challenged community whom everyone loves.  She is friendly and happy.  Maddie makes everyone feel as though they are her “extra-special friend.”  Several years ago Mattie and her husband moved from our city to a small town out of the state.  Because I assumed that I’d never see…

The choice that changed everything Nehemiah 9:17 Central Theme: Man choices to sin and God chooses to be gracious. A ream of paper has 500 sheets–not more and not less. A foot is 12 inches–not more and not less. There are many absolutes in our lives. There is a couple of absolutes that totally changed…
