A Cayman Clothesline In January

On my way to the clothesline with a basket of wet laundry I go through the back screened in porch and our largest iguana doesn’t want to let me out the back door! I go get my husband who is building a chicken coop for the little flock of baby chicks we’ve caught from the [...]

Why Do I Lack Self-Control And Where Is My Joy?

Tighter clothes, higher numbers on the scale, responding in frustration, a lack of joy–all of these were becoming increasingly apparent in my life. But why? Enter the Holy Spirit and “ding” the bell rings, or the light comes on. Both my lack of self control and my lack of joy indicate a lack of the [...]

Looking Forward To Christmas On The Island

If you’re a child in public at Christmastime what are you asked? “Are you ready for Santa Clause?” If you are an adult what are you asked? “Are you ready for Christmas?” The scriptures teach us, “In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18 [...]

One Step Toward A More Intimate Marriage

Ladies, who of us wouldn’t like a little more intimacy in our marriage? I’m not just talking about the physical here. That’s just one part of intimacy. I’m talking about being best friends too. When we marry we have an idea of being perpetually in love and generally enjoying life together. Yet as the years [...]

But How CAN I Reverence HIM?

Part Two: Once I had to forgive someone and found I really couldn’t. I tried for five long years. I prayed, cried, struggled, begged God for help, seemingly to no avail. And then the answer came. I was reading in God’s Word when the light came on. I had been viewing myself as a basically [...]

Holy Wives and Unholy Husbands
