A couple of years ago I posted a blog on How Christian Women Dress. In this blog I would like to look at 1 Timothy 2:9 in more detail.   In the King James Version of the Bible we read, “In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; [...]

I’m so thankful for the help of the Lord and praying friends.  As of yesterday I was still not certain of how God was leading for the ladies fellowship.  I hate it when that happens.  Usually the Lord gives me a topic or scripture or goal some time in advance.  I was praying and so [...]

On Saturday a four year old little boy drowned “in a pond or something” here on the island.   Yesterday a 58 year old man from Ohio, who had arrived on Saturday and was here for a few days, drowned at Spotts Beach. The ambulances and police were arriving as we passed on our way [...]

Tonight my husband and I attended a college graduation.  Of those graduating with an associate’s degree approximately 80% were women.  Of those receiving a bachelor’s about 70% were female.  Of the masters 75% were ladies.   My father once told me that someday I would compromise my high ideals.  I was determined that I would [...]

I have poured every ounce of my being into pleasing Christ.  Oh, I’ve done badly many times, but His will has been my highest aspiration. This has greatly impacted my [...]

Young Daniel was taken captive when his country of Judah was taken over by the Babylonians. Daniel was probably a young teen when this occurred. There he was trained for 3 years to serve the king of Babylon. His name was changed from Daniel (God is judge), a name that glorifies the true God, to [...]

While preparing for a children’s class I read part of Genesis chapter 11 in an interlinear Hebrew online Bible.  It struck me that there was no mention of evil in the verses.  God had told the people to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth, and like many close families today, they desperately wanted [...]
