Thank You, Lord
This is part of my devotional on the 20th of each month – and is always a challenge and encouragement to me.

Feeling Grateful
Today it feels like the day was given back to me. I planned to report for jury duty early this morning, but when I called in to the Lancaster Courthouse last night, I got a recording that said jury duty was cancelled and will not be rescheduled. I was not looking forward to the uncertainty […]
My Daily Prayer
by Doris High Lord, I need Your help today to stay focused on You. Empower me as I begin another day of active duty in spiritual warfare. Stay in my face. Intrude in my life. Keep me from stupid sins – from thinking I can take over Your work. Thank You for being my Shepherd. […]
Sacrifice of Praise
Let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. Hebrews 13:15 King James Version How do you get to a point of giving God a “sacrifice of praise” when you have been hurt or when you have hurt someone? We have all […]

A Lesson from Fighting Hummingbirds
This morning I watched a pair of hummingbirds fight over the sweet syrup I have in one of our five feeders. As soon as one got near the feeder, the other chased it away. I couldn’t tell if one was the aggressor (as often happens) or if both were being selfish. Because they fly and swoop […]

One Of My Goals In Life

This (No Photo) Post Has Been A Long Time Coming
As a matter of fact, it has been coming for as long as I have been blogging – and that is almost ten years. Every now and then, after posting a family get-together or reunion – like last night – I hear things like: “I love your family.” “You have a wonderful family.” “I wish our family liked […]
By this time I had more than four screws loose to my emotional wellbeing!
I sent this to the TFC staff and our family today, so I thought I would post it here as well. ~~~ As I finished mailing TFC’s Prayer Calendar today, I thought, “This is the first time since early April – before we left for Pass Lake – that I had a bulk mailing go smoothly.” April 21 […]
For My 71st Birthday

Psalm 139:14 (CEV) Thank you God that You are the creator of the universe that You are the creator of me and designed me exactly to Your specifications. Thank You for bringing me into this world and giving […]
Light Squiggles
Sometimes I like to take pictures of lights at night – while we are driving – to produce interesting squiggles. I think I like squiggles because life never follows a straight line. It’s more like a squiggle. In a variety of colors God never changes like the shadows from those lights. He is always the same. James 1:17 […]
