It is by grace we are saved through faith in Christ Jesus (see Romans 3:24, Ephesians 2:8). Today’s verse gives us a different perspective of grace. We read in Hebrews 2:9: “But we see Jesus, who as a man, lived for a short time lower than the angels and has now been crowned with glorious … Continue reading By God’s Grace

Searching for Love
This morning as we were finishing our walk, I was looking for my keys as we approached the house. For some reason, likely because coffee was not in my system, I was looking in all the wrong places. I went through each pocket to no avail, because I was not looking where they always are … Continue reading Searching for Love
Fuel Gauge
It didn’t take too long to realize that my van had a fuel gauge issue, as the van continued to show I had a full tank of gas after driving it for a week. I had a car like that before, and knew the quick remedy was to use the faithful trip monitor for mileage … Continue reading Fuel Gauge

One would think that a tortoise would not want to surround himself with lizards and birds, that they are very different from the slow-paced life of the tortoise. While this action of the tortoise benefits the … Continue reading Elevating Tortoise
Pollen Attack
The pollen levels have been out of control the past few days. My normal allergy medicine has not been enough to combat the problem. Then the officials called for a Code Orange warning, which signifies poor air quality that will thereby impact those who are “sensitive.” This means people who are losing their allergy battle … Continue reading Pollen Attack
