Together Again
About 2 1/2 years ago, my prayer group decided to start meeting via Zoom out of precaution due to COVID. It worked out well, especially as one of the members moved to another state. But, recently we have talked about meeting together again in person. Tonight was the first time we did. We actually went […]
The Victor
I am finishing my 4 year Bible course fittingly with the book of Revelation. Tonight we discussed the various interpretations. Could this have been fulfilled in the past with the destruction of the temple in Jerusalem? According to my instructor, likely not. The book contains warnings of how what has happened will affect what is […]
Revelation 1
Finally, as I am in my last weeks of Bible class, we have come to the book of Revelation. I have been looking forward to it as I know it is a very misunderstood and misinterpreted book. In my small group, we discussed the study questions for chapter 1. One of the participants said she […]
Sharing Caring Heart
A friend and I planned on meeting for a hike this morning. I texted her and got no response. I called and got no answer. This was not like her at all, so I got a little worried and decided to just go over to her house. She called while I was on my way […]
The Ball Game
Yesterday my sister came for the weekend while I had a fun day with my family at a baseball game. In afternoon my son and his girlfriend picked me up and we headed to the big city. There we met my other son and family. We found a place to park not too far away […]
The Lord is My Shepherd
I have had a tune in my head all day for a hymn using the words of Psalm 23 beginning with, “The Lord is my shepherd”. This got me noticing that image everywhere. A friend sent a book that goes through the Psalm as a meditation of types, focusing on one sentence at a time. […]
In Labor
In my bible class tonight, my teacher talked about the awesome experience he had being able to witness the birth of 5 of the 6 of his children. He said there was nothing like seeing his wife in labor and all the suffering that accompanied it. At the final push, he could see the tremendous […]
Heart Not Cart
This evening we read the meditation of the day from the Magnificat written by Gina Loehr. There were a couple sentences that struck me referring to the scripture Matthew 5:43-48, where Jesus instructs us to be perfect like his father. The reflection stated, “Today’s Gospel is about what’s in my heart, not what’s in my […]
Pray For You
A good friend of mine is a wonderful pray-er. She always has a prayer list going and is faithful about praying a rosary for those in particular need. I was surprised when we chatted a few days ago and she told me she didn’t really pray for herself. I shared part of Matthew chapter 7 […]
Cyclical Faith
My Bible class tonight was packed with spiritual truths to contemplate as we slowly read the Gospel of John. Chapter 6 contains the “Bread of Life Discourse” in which Jesus teaches that He is the bread of life that has come down from heaven and that we must eat of Him to have eternal life […]
