RINSE Away Your Anger
RINSE: Anger is a real emotion. Yet, we should not let it control our behavior or control our time. We read in Eph 4:26 – “Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:” That second part used to be a tough one for me. I thought that I […]
The Battle Within
I felt his presence again just the other night. It had been awhile. Time was prime for his appearance. I was tired. There was a crowd about us. In a hurry. The person before me was … in a mood. And then, it happened. A verbal attack thrust upon me. Or so it seemed in […]
Escape: Transportation or Transformation?
A Way to Escape There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. 1 Cor […]

RECIPE: Healthy Pumpkin-Carrot Pudding
What started out as an experiment has become a staple. As in a small helping every day in her lunch box to school. Last fall, we found ourselves with an abundance of carrots. Angela’s birthday was coming up and I wanted to fix a dessert dish that wasn’t a carrot cake (she fixes that for […]

Reflecting Up
It is not for modesty — but for Glory’s sake. If there be any good that come from me, my words or the work of my hands: It is not I, but Christ from within; with the Holy Spirit as my guide. I’ve found if compliments to me are given, I may receive them for […]

Funeral for a Friendly Neighbor
Maybe you’ve seen a game of tag among the neighborhood squirrels. I think it’s a game they play. Sometimes, there is much noise and it seems at times some tempers flare when things get a little rough. When the birds join in, it can get kind of ugly. As I was driving home recently, I […]
Remembering My School Days – and My Mom
Maybe it was because of recent graduations. Perhaps it was remembering my Mom’s upcoming birthday (Arrivederci, Mama). It was probably a home video of my childhood, sent by my younger brother. The video includes many scenes from my early childhood, back when we kept waving because there was no sound and we were taking moving pictures. […]
