I have always tried to be a reliable person, but I’ve failed like everyone does from time to time. We cannot always do what we desire to do in life. The Bible says for our yes to be yes, for our no to be no. This makes things very black and white. This is something … Continue reading Reliability

Home in Your Heart
When you are at home somewhere, you are comfortable. You are safe. Home is considered a special place, your special place. It’s where you reside. It’s where you rest. It’s where you remain for a great deal of time. Paul said for the word of Christ, the words spoken by Jesus, to have its home … Continue reading Home in Your Heart
Dry Hands
I have a very bad memory. I write everything down and I use technology to remind me of everything short of breathing. Many days I will find myself noticing my hands are dry. It is then I remember that I did not put lotion on my hands. I have lotion—lots of lotion. But it never … Continue reading Dry Hands
Evidence Accepted
Since I was a little girl, I always wanted to know the facts. When someone would tell me something, I had to learn about it and seek out the truth. When I was in high school, I spent a lot of time in research. I also did puzzles which challenged me to take the facts … Continue reading Evidence Accepted
Exiting the Cave
Elijah came on the scene with no introduction and announced the Word of God. He told the people there would be no rain, upholding what was said in Deuteronomy 28:24 for those in disobedience.

Gold Calf Assistance
Providing gold calf assistance is not something we should strive to do in life, but sadly it happens very quickly. Every time I read Exodus 32, I get upset to see how fast Aaron was to lead the people to sin greatly without hesitation. We do not read of any attempt to sway the people. … Continue reading Gold Calf Assistance

When I was trying to print up a lesson I created for Sunday School, I found myself having some difficulty. Sometimes my printer can be a bit temperamental and I have to do a system reboot. Three times I tried to print the lesson and nothing was working. I took a step back and realized … Continue reading Check Your Connections
Bad Mixture
My daughter is always mixing drinks. She often takes different juices and mixes them together. One morning she asked me if orange juice would taste good with orange soda and I advised her to not try that mixture. I’ve had orange juice with Sprite, but the thought of this possible mixture did not sound like … Continue reading Bad Mixture

Recently when I was teaching, a student chimed up saying that her Bible didn’t say the same thing that the reader shared with the group. I explained to her that there are different translations of the Bible so that anyone can find a Bible that they can understand. The Bible has been translated in numerous … Continue reading Easily Accessible
