I am experimenting with the coolest machine ever! Dave bought me a new sewing machine last April that also does embroidery. It isn’t just the kind where you can make a nifty border, but an actual embroidery machine. Now, it isn’t the biggest. Actually, it’s the smallest. But I hadn’t used it until today. So …

Saturday already again! Since I am currently hanging out in the sunny south, I will enjoy the 70 degree weather and maybe make a trip to the beach. What does our day look like? Do you have expectations for what you might accomplish on the weekend? Maybe it’s your day off and you have a …

Reading: Psalm 62:5-8 This is the last day we will read this psalm but there is one more really important principle I want to draw from these verses. In verse 5, I find these words: “for my hope is in him.” The same concept is repeated in verse 6 with these words: “He ALONE is my rock and my salvation.” Again in verse 7 it says, “My …

Reading: Psalm 62:5-8 I know. I know. This is the same reading as yesterday. Maybe you decided not to read it today for that reason. I encourage you to stop and read it again. Because there’s a chance you are like me and you didn’t read every word. Take another pass through it and see …

This is my birthday week. Fifty some years ago my mom waited in expectation of a sixth child. She already had five children ages 7-10 and a one year old. She anticipated I would be a good playmate for my brother. Only time would tell if that expectation became a reality. Expectations are funny things. …

Sunday! I have an additional reading for today. I am so challenged by David’s awareness of the effect of sin in his life and the key to living with pure hearts – God desires a broken and repentant heart. I wish for you a meaningful time of worshiping with other believers where you can find …

Read: John 3:16-21; Proverbs 20:9; Proverbs 28:13 You are in good company today. Why? Because we have all sinned. We have all missed the mark. There is not a single person who has managed to live perfectly. Not even that person you kind of hate because they seem so put together. Everything is always just …

Read: Matthew 4:1-11 Jesus amazes me. I wrote last week that Jesus became human and experienced everything we do. He experienced fatigue, hunger and exhaustion. When his disciples fought about who was the best, he might even have rolled his eyes. But most importantly, he experienced temptation like we do. And he overcame! And because …
