  • Excellent Sermon

    Many of us who are isolated and shut in have and continue to lose much. I wanted to share this message that touched my heart from yesterday at my sister’s church. The message starts around 30:11.

  • Encouragement!

    I was listening to these today as I worked. I am still listening through these, but the first one made me laugh out loud in the first story because I know someone who would do something similar. 🙂 (Still working on this one, but laughed quite loudly at one of the first stories. 🙂 )…

  • Approaching the New Year

    2023 is coming to a close. 2024 approaches quickly. How do you celebrate New Year’s Eve? New Year’s Eve is a time that I contemplate the past year and take stock of where I am. It is a time of reflection. Entering the New Year, do you have New Year’s Resolutions or Goals? We would…

  • A Work in Progress

    Through the last nearly five years of isolation and increased limitations, God has blessed with a new hobby. It came of necessity. You see, I love to make things, to craft, to play piano and sing, etc. As I lost more use of my hands and experienced vocal cord and lung issues, it was tough.…

  • Encouragement for Today

    2 Corinthians 1:8-9 8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: 9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God…

  • Saturday Scripture

    Encouragement for today: When it is dark and you don’t know if God sees you, He does. Psalm 31:7, “7 I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;” He is our help and shield! Psalm 33:21, “21 For our heart shall rejoice in…

  • Hall of Faith

    Beginning tomorrow, November 1, we challenged you to read Daring Devotion. To prepare for that book, we are reminded of Hebrews 11 (which is where the book ends). Why did this book touch my heart so? I think one reason is that many of these men and women of God, these “spiritual giants,” battled personal issues,…

  • Extra Encouragement

    I realize this is an additional post, but I just read this Psalm. I know many of you are in difficult circumstances today. What an encouragement this Psalm was to my own heart. I hope it encourages you! Psalm 63 “63 O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth…

  • Our Time Is In His Hand

    God is in control. We have heard that. God knows our lifespan. Our times are in His hands. Psalm 31:15a, “My times are in thy hand:” God knows all. God takes care of us. I have shared a bit about having some unexpected health issues this past week. I want to start by saying that I…

  • Keeping our Mind

    From previous posts this week, you know it has been a bit of a week around here. You all know as you face chronic illness and disability that it is easy to get discouraged when this happens. These verses came to mind: Isaiah 26:3-4, “3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed…
