A Secure Refuge!
Posted on January 26, 2023 Leave a Comment
January 26, 2023 A Secure Refuge! I don’t need our home to be perfectly clean all the time. I don’t want to live in a museum! At the same time, it is important for my well-being that we keep the clutter to a minimum. The need to minimize the clutter is not so much to […]
A Constant Guard!

January 19, 2023 A Constant Guard! It felt as if the whole world was attacking me. There were accusations about my character, my faith, and even my love for my wife. There were attacks against our young children, poisonous claims made to our friends, and lies shared with my boss. It was a time in […]
A Powerful Protector!

January 12, 2023 A Powerful Protector! Fear gets the best of all of us from time to time. No matter how confident or competent or courageous we may be, fear has a way of creeping in and taking up lodging in our heart and mind. We re-call the time the disciples of Jesus retreated to […]
A Faithful Shield!

January 5, 2023 A Faithful Shield! Sometimes things come at me in such a rapid-fire manner that I cannot seem to catch my breath. There is news of a friend’s death, another slippage in my mother’s health, and the report that parts for our house humidifier have not been available for at least 15 years. […]

December 29, 2022 A Strong Fortress! During the first two months of 2023, I would like to share some reflections on the character of the Lord God in Psalm 91. My hope is to provide insights that will help your relationship with the Lord to go deeper and wider than it is today. Or if […]
Hurry Up!

December 22, 2022 Hurry Up! Hurry, Hurry, Hurry! Most of us seem to be in a season of hurry up! It’s hurry to get the house picked up, hurry to get the big meal prepared, hurry to get the last gift ready. Many of us are scrambling, running, and stewing. We are anxious and worried […]
Longing For More!

December 15, 2022 Longing For More! I don’t want a lot of gifts this Christmas. Maybe that seems strange to some people. But, I don’t want more things. Instead, I long for more of some things that are not things. I know I am not alone in my longing for more of these things. From […]
A Rare Joy!

December 8, 2022 Rare Joy! We were not sure we wanted to put Christmas lights along the railing on the deck behind our house or on the front of our house. Our reasoning went this way; 1) putting lights on the deck will not require a ladder (it is safer for both of us!), 2) […]
I Will Give Thanks!

November 24, 2022 I Will Give Thanks! It is Thanksgiving Day! We are spending the day with our kids in Oklahoma. Of course, there will be an abundance of great food because our daughter’s in-laws really know how to celebrate when family gathers around a table. And there will be plenty of love to share […]
An Evening Out!

November 17, 2022 An Evening Out! As my wife and I enjoyed a quiet evening eating out earlier this week, a young man sitting a couple of tables from us expressed his surprise at something someone shared with him. In a very loud voice he exclaimed, “Jeeezzz—uuusss!!! What was he thinking?!?!” His exclamation was not […]
