Today is the Lord’s Day. There are so many reasons we worship Jehovah – the creator of the universes and the source of our Salvation. Solomon tells us one of the reasons we worship God. God is omniscient. Nothing is hidden from the eyes of God. Solomon teaches us that not even Sheol (Death) andContinue reading “No one is hidden.”

I’d love to go overnight camping. I haven’t had the chance to yet but I spend so much time in the mountains it’s only a matter of time. It’s fun to be out in nature. When you camp, you take as little with you as possible because the more you take the heavier your pack.Continue reading “House or Tent?”

I’m just awful at using cardinal directions. There are four cardinal directions. So when navigating, you can head in a variety of directions. Northwest. Southwest. Northeast. Southwest. North. South. East. West. North by northwest. You get the point. Anyway – I get so confused. Thank goodness for the compass app on my watch. But ultimately,Continue reading “Which way, which way?”

Sharing is caring. We’ve all heard the phrase. Yet how often to we truly practice it? Do we only share when it’s convenient? Or when others see us? Perhaps we only share during certain times of year? Or, we share because it is expected but not something we actually want to do. As Americans weContinue reading “Sharing is caring.”

Remember the children’s song “oh my careful little tongue what you say?” It is an easy phrase to sing but a hard way to live. Careful talking. Many of the proverbs Solomon wrote directly or even indirectly deal with talking. So, I’ve gone back to the beginning of his proverbs (Proverbs 10 – 29) withContinue reading “Oh, be careful little tongue!”

So, I am completely fascinated by nature. I love being outside. I love watching weather. I am completely amazed by the sheer power of nature. Volcanos are one of those things found in nature that I just find so fascinating. Perhaps it is because I watched Dante’s Peak as a child and heard the storiesContinue reading “Our Pyroclastic Cloud”

One of my favorite stories about my dog Nola is when she was a puppy. She’s a schnauzer through and through. Stubborn to the core. And when she was a puppy sometimes she absolutely refused to obey me. She’d had to go do her own thing. So one time we were on a walk –Continue reading “Insults or Incense?”

When I visited Carlsbad National Park, my husband and I visited as much of the caves as possible. We took the deep tour to the Big Room which is the largest under ground cave in North America. We kept going down and down and when we eventually got there the guide turned of all theContinue reading “Bottomless”

Solomon teaches us that just like iron sharpens iron – so too can a friend sharpen his or her friend. We should prize those friendship above all others. Solomon tells us in another proverb that this friends stay closer than a brother. And, He even tells us that the wounds of those friends are betterContinue reading “It Takes Two”

I’m a planner. I like planning out my day, week, month, and year. Each plan is a little different and has alternative plans based on what could or couldn’t happens. Even with all my efforts, I can’t control anything in the future but nevertheless I continue to plan. Maybe you’re like me and like toContinue reading “Planner Syndrome”
