Greatness And The Little Things

It seemed the Holy Spirit was saying to me, keep doing the next small thing, and do it well. Did you ever want to be great?  Have you aspired to live a life that books would be written about?  Did you ever want to be so good that you would be remembered, loved and praised [...]

What Happened To Your Ideals?

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 [...]

Learning To Apply Scripture

Here are a few scenes from our ladies’ fellowship.  We are learning to apply Titus 2, Proverbs 31, and  Acts 9,  Those who have skills are sharing them with others so we can all become more productive.  We had a lot of fun learning/teaching on Friday night.  Some learned how to use a pattern, some [...]

Captive Thoughts From Daniel

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.

When we lived in Nanjemoy, MD we celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary in 2007. Our children then surprised us with a wonderful party at a state park where we found friends and family gathered from near and far. Our children also gave a lap top each to my husband and me, and a family web [...]

The Effect Of The Internet On A Family

It happened again. I was soundly sleeping, and suddenly awake. Sometimes I think my heavenly Father wakes me up in the night for a talk.This usually means that I proceed to the bed of one of my children to awaken them for the same talk I just had with my Father. This time it was [...]

What Should We Take To The Island?

Last week as we prepared for Michael and Bekah’s wedding we also were packing the last of our things to bring with us to the island. The question kept repeating, “What should we take with us to the island?” And then scripture answered the question. “For where your treasure is there will your heart be [...]

A Rhema

Rhema is a Greek word. In the greek New Testament there is more than one word for “word”. One is logos. Another is rhema. When I say that I received a rhema I mean that as I was reading the Word of God or meditating on the Word it spoke to me–perhaps in a new [...]

A Meek And Quiet Spirit?
