Want To Be Like God

God’s Timing and Encouragement
Today a friend stop by unexpectedly to return some dishes and stayed for a few minutes. While she was here, she offered some encouraging words and shared a bit about her faith. She did not know what perfect timing she had and how much I appreciated hearing what she had to say. I love it […]
Back Outside
It is hard to believe we had a blizzard just a couple of days ago. Today there was not a cloud in the deep blue sky and the sun was warm and bright. My mom and I went out for a walk early in the day. But I needed more. I called a friend and […]

This morning, my parent’s and I read a reflection on the scripture where Jesus says, “You have heard that it was said to your ancestors, You shall not kill; and whoever kills will be liable to judgment.

People of the Bible
The other day, I read a meditation that stated, “Every single person in the Bible is put there to serve you. Hidden between the lines of these ancient texts, they wait, wanting to teach you the great truths of the journey.” – Matthew Kelly. I had my Bible class tonight and this statement really rang […]
