Today we honor those who served our nation in war and peacetime in the armed services, and especially those whose sacrifice included injury and death for the cause of our liberty. We also remember their families, who through their loved ones’ deployments and absences had to continue their family lives missing, and no doubt concerned about the welfare of their servicemembers.
I wrote a book…..
We watched a film last night on Newsmax. It is available on YouTube. It is called Faith Under Siege. It is about Ukrainian Christians, about the Russian Orthodox Church’s obedience to Russia, Tucker Carlson’s incorrect assumptions, and the strengthening of the Christian message in occupied sections of Ukraine. It is a must see, and a call for prayer for Christians of Ukraine I wish our government officials could see it as well.
The end of the school year always reminds me that learning never ends. I was always amazed, as a teacher, at how long it took each fall to get students “in the grove” of learning after eight weeks “off” during the summer. I’m convinced that around the year schooling is beneficial, but only if the entire school system does it at the same time. It’s terrible when a family has children in several levels of education and they try to…..
How blessed we have been the last two weeks. Our five senses have toured the world.
Anyone else amazed by the virtual travel we’ve seen on TV the last two weeks? Ev and I have never traveled to far-off places, but vicariously, this week we have been to the Sistine Chapel, with Pope Leo, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Syria with our President,…and a week ago to the Taj Mahal with our Vice President. What an amazing world we’ve seen from…..
Not a feeling often in Florida, but I’m feeling like the old adage, my life is like a snowball rolling down a steep mountain, choosing its path among many possibilities.
I’m trying to decide on two contest entries, a short story and a novel, and whether they’re “good enough” to have a chance of winning. I’ve wavered on my choices, revised and evaluated, hopcing judges will see value in each or both. My resident perfectionism curse rears its ugly head,…..
Today is another in my life’s epic days! After months of “gestation,” the “new baby” is born! That’s the thrill I get to experience when a new book is “born,” and the final product is in my writers’ hands. This one, the fourth anthology published by my You Are Unique writing group at Glenbrooke, is written, organized, typed, edited, proofread, sent to KDP for printing, shipped, delivered, and now is ready for each reader to enjoy the fruits of our…..
What a glorious celebration of Easter. The story is new every day when we consider the joy of living on THIS side of the cross. No matter what else happens, no matter where our life-walks take us, no matter in life or death, we are victors because of the victory of Jesus Christ’s resurrection.
Today, we rose to the news of Pope Francis’s death. While we, as protestants, do not venerate the Pope, we are thankful for his belief in…..
Last night Covenant Church in Palm Bay celebrated Tenebrae, a service where we visited the Three Sad days. We started with the Garden of Gethsemane. One of my favorite Lenten hymn is “Go to dark Gethsemane.
Go to dark Gethsemane, Ye that feel the tempter’s power Your Redeemer’s conflict see, Watch with Him one bitter hour/
Turn not from His griefs away, Learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
Follow to the judgment hall, View the Lord of life arraigned O…..
Why is this GOOD Friday? This pivotal day for the world defeated Satan, although he no doubt was present, and resulted in the hope of salvation for all who saw God’s triumph through the sacrifice of His beloved Son for us all. Life shows us joy and sorrow. In this three days, sorrow turns to Easter joy. Unimagiinable jot.
Why? He did it for us. From the earliest days of the Old Testament to the last pages of Revelation, He…..
We have just celebrated Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week. But there are two other triumphal entries made by our Lord. Thanks to the resurrection which we celebrate in a few days, the cross was not the end of the story. We can rejoice in the then, but look forward to the final hallelujah chorus, when we too will be resurrected for eternity. If you do not believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior, I invite you to visit…..
