I remember singing the childhood song, “Joshua fought the Battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho…” As I read Chapter 6 of Joshua, I thought about how the people prepared for the battle. The Lord told Joshua what to […]

Break Time’s Over
When Dad was told he was in remission in May 2018, the doctor had suggested doing a little more chemo just to hopefully keep the cancer away. As I have said in earlier posts, the T-cell Lymphoma that Dad has is very rare and the doctor was not sure how long it would take to […]
Taking A Break
(This was the last post I wrote in 2018 about my Dad. Updates will soon be coming. Please Pray!) All of my life I have heard of people who have had cancer. When I was young, though, it was a disease that seemed like only “old people” had. And they often didn’t live long after […]

Spiritual Dementia
If you stopped by because you read my devotion today over at Encouragement Cafe, WELCOME! So glad you are here! Dementia is an awful condition to watch someone go through.

Take Inventory
If you stopped by because you read my devotion today over at Encouragement Cafe, WELCOME! So glad you are here! Jesus feeding the 5000 is a well-known miracle recorded in the Gospels.

Thanksgiving Parade
My pastor recently preached a Thanks Living sermon. The scripture was from 1 Chronicles 16. It was the account of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant back into the tabernacle he had erected. He offered burnt offerings and peace offerings to the Lord. David gave to all the people of Israel a loaf of […]
Can I Call You Right Back?
One day as I was just leaving work, my daughter called me. She had not gotten but a couple of sentences out of her mouth when I heard my phone beep. I looked at the screen and noticed it was a coworker and I knew I needed to take the call. So I told Martha […]
