Be Thankful

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I know sometimes we can focus on all the food, but I believe the real reason we like it so much is because it is about family getting together and getting to spending time with each other. Sometimes we get so see siblings and other relatives that we haven’t seen in a long time. I think we also like it because it is so simple. No wrapping presents, nor having to buy things for every person on our list. Thanksgiving is about being grateful for the people in our lives. I know sometimes we can be thankful for things that we have, but we know those things are just things. Let’s be grateful for the people that support us in our lives. For the people that encourage us and for the people that make our lives better. To find people like that it is truly a blessing. I am thankful for all of you because you are a blessing in my life.

Wisteria

I find myself captivated by Wisteria every year at this time. Partly because it was Cathy’s favorite spring time flower. She really like the purple blooms. But we never planted any and neither does Jane have any interest in planting Wisteria. The opening words of an...

Got A Question?

Do you have a question you would love to ask Jesus? What would it be? He was certainly asked a lot of questions. Like the one Peter asked about the future of his fellow apostle, John. Jesus’ answer? “What is that to you? Be faithful to me.” He didn’t always give an...

David, King of Israel, was described as a man after God’s own heart. I can imagine other biblical characters who would fall under the same category. What about us? Can we come close to that kind of heart? How did David get there? From his childhood he had a deep and...

When the righteous increase, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan. (Prov. 29:2 ESV) One's pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. (Prov. 29:23 ESV) Scoffers set a city aflame, but the wise turn away wrath....
