New Years Resolutions (Radio Bible Class)

In 1722, Jonathan Edwards drew up a list of 70 resolutions, dedicating himself to live in harmony with God and others. The following resolutions give a picture of the serious purpose with which Edwards approached his relationship with God. He resolved:

• To do whatever is most to God’s glory.

• To do my duty, for the good of mankind in general.

• Never to do anything, which I should be…

New, New, New, New, New, .....

Happy NEW Year, everyone! I'm starting the NEW year, by visiting my NEW grandson (not yet 3 months old), taking some NEW medication that I hope will help my depression, starting a NEW Bible study (I Corinthians on DVD by Berachah Church - they send these out free folks), and continuing my NEW expression (novels) of an old love (writing). I have no NEW resolutions, just the same old ones that ignore most of the time. Our NEW semester of homeschooling begins in a couple of weeks and I'm excited… Continue

Blessed by the Unexpected

A week or so ago, my friend said she needed to make room in her office and did I want some of the old Christian books that she wanted to give away. She asked me this not only because I love to read, but also because I belong to two book swap groups (www.bookmooch.com and www.frugalreader.com) and I can post them there when I'm done with them.

My son had to run down to her house for a few minutes and I asked him to get the books for me - thinking there would be a few - at the most,… Continue

Sideswiped by the Unexpected

I have a dear friend, the one I've written about before. Her name is Crystal and she is like a sister to me (I think! I've never had a sister until she came along). We've known each other 20 years - before husbands, before most of our children, before college degrees, before many life-change events in our lives. We have similar belief systems and values although our personalities are quite different.

A couple of days ago we had a falling out. She and I have had our disagreements over… Continue

Treating My Body As Christ's Home

I'm always happy I can say that Jesus lives in my heart! Unfortunately the poor guy is surrounded by blubber and watching body strain and struggle to stay healthy despite the cookies and ice cream an caffiene and extra 65 lbs. My bood has not turned to syrup yet, but was higher than it should have been last year at my annual physical. My cholesterol and all that ok, but at two separate times my blook pressure has been above normal in the last month (two separate offices, two separate…

Living and breathing the inerrant Word of Christ

I would like to share and encoureage my brothers and sisters how we can grow daily into a closer intimate relationship with our precious Savior.

Jesus allows our eyes to open another day for His Father's glory.

When my eyes open He has shown me how to greet Him and pray for my day to be effective and fruitful for His glory, before my feet hit the floor.

Lk 9:23 (3) commitments deny myself take up my cross daily follow Jesus

Gospel piano melody

If you go onto youtube and type in Gospel Piano Melody you can find me playing some old gospel tunes Jerry Lee Lewis, Jimmy Swaggart style, although I'm not as good as them, they influenced my style. Keep in mind I only started focusing on the piano for about a year or so. I always fooled around on friends pianos but never invested in one, I got one about a month and a half ago... hope you all enjoy

Praying Your Slate Clean

A 12-Step devotion for today talks about how hard it is to read a message on a chalkboard that is nearly white with old chalk. But when you clean it with water, you can the see the writeen messages clearly again. The author goes on to compare that with erasing anxieties from one's mind so you can see clearer the fresher inspiration that you come up with for a healthier mind set.

Isn't this what happens when we pray? We give over our worries to God for Him to take care of and…

BEAUTIFUL POEM DONT MISS IT:)

Whatever your cross,

whatever your pain,

There will always be sunshine,

after the rain ....

Perhaps you may stumble,

perhaps even fall,

But God's always ready,

To answer your call ...

He knows every heartache,

sees every tear,

A word from His lips,

can calm every fear ...

Your sorrows may linger,

throughout the night,

But suddenly vanish,

dawn's early light ...

The Savior is waiting,

somewhere above,

To… Continue

Now That All the Shopping Is Done I Can Concentrate on the Reason for the Season (and Everything Else!)

My husband and I arrived at Wal-Mart at about 5:00 a.m. this morning to do the lion's share of our Christmas shopping, and now, at 8:45 a.m. I'm THRILLED to say that after one more internet transaction a little later today, we'll be done - ALL DONE. We don't get much compared to most people. Some things for our kids, my godsons, and my grandson. And inexpensive token gifts for adult friends and family members.

Now I can turn my attention to preparing for our new Twelve Days of… Continue

3 - in - 1 Daily Devotionals

December 21 - Daily Feast

Rebellion rises in us when one of our customs has to be changed. We think even when times were not east, bits and pieces meant something to us. Leaving it behind means a little of us must stay as well. Familiar memories can be treacherous. They grip the spirit and tell us we are losing something that cannot be replaced. But therein lies the fallacy. We do not replace what has been dear to us. We fold it in love and put it in safekeeping - while we add… Continue

Fellowship and Fun

Today, my 2 homeschooled kids (age 16 and 11) and I are joing our close friends, 2 other homeschool moms and their kids ( 2 more 16yo's and a 12 year old) for a little homeschool Christmas party and cookie bake today. As of the time of this writing we have finished the party part and are moving on to the cookie party.

We found out during the Christmas IQ quiz that even those of us who have gone to church all our lives and read the Bible ten times over don't know everything there is to…

Offline for a while

I just wanted to let everyone know...because I don't have my own computer and because the library will be closed from Dec. 22 until Dec. 26, I will not be here for a while. I didn't want anyone to think that I just wasn't answering their messages or anything, lol! I hope you all have a happy, blessed Christmas!
