Up until a few years ago, I was a “theistic evolutionist.” My husband talked till he was blue in the face to change my mind, but I was stuck in my views. Then, I actually read Darwin’s book (well, a little of it). I never had before. I just based my beliefs on what my …
The song that keeps going through my mind is “They Will Know We Are Christians By Our Love,” but I know that’s not true, unfortunately. It’s something that weighs heavily on me. I couldn’t finish this post in time for yesterday morning because I kept re-writing it, watering it down so as not to offend …
Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. 2 John 1:9 ESV Please join me this week in praising our Father for being the loving, caring Vinedresser. Ask Him to show you which …
John 15:5 (ESV) tells us that Christ also abides in us! That just blows me away! I wonder as David did: What is man that You are mindful of him,And the son of man that You give attention to him? Psalm 8:4 NKJV I try to be obedient to God and His Word. As I …

But the one who endures to the end will be saved.Matthew 24:13 ESV
More than a decade ago, I decided I wanted to take up jogging. I bought an armband to hold my iPod, sports earbuds, and an outfit to “look” the part. I researched it (because I research everything :::pushes up glasses::: ) to see how best to start, the proper “way” to jog, etc. Several months …
Of course, following “a good day” (see yesterday’s post), there is a “not-so-good-day.” It was fine, but I just had to laugh at the circumstances that made it more trying than the previous day. I wondered, “Is this because I boasted about having a good day?” “Is it just impossible for me to have two …
