When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
A short meditation on that grand hymn by Isaac Watts. This week on the church calendar is regarded at Holy Week. It is a week of contemplation if a person travels along the trail from the Triumphant Entry to the Empty Tomb. Each year I take that trip although I am not bound by church …
Saying “Goodbye”
On January 1, my Bible open to Genesis chapter 1, I started the journey through the Bible using the “Our Daily Bread” reading schedule. If all goes as planned, I’ll finish Malachi and Revelation on December 31. It isn’t as if this is the first time I’ve done this. I suppose that had I counted, …
I need advice!
Fellow wordpress users, and my wonderful followers, I need some input. In the last two weeks I have faced a new procedure on some posts. I wonder if some of you are facing the same problem. Some posts are just fine with no difficulty to post a comment or a “like” while others are a, …
Duck Tongue
Duck is delicious. I never knew that duck was such an expensive food until I was in my late twenties. We ate duck in my home because it was available! Our farm had a small lake across the road from the farmhouse. Each morning we would see a parade of ducks and geese waddling and …
Hills and Valleys
A little snipit from Deuteronomy 11:11 says, “. . .a land of hills and valleys. . .” Taking scripture out of context is one of my pet peeves. I do recall a college teacher from Pillsbury Baptist Bible College, saying, “Scripture has one interpretation and many applications.” That certainly is true of the snipit quoted …
Reservations for Two – (book review)
Reservations for Two, by Anne Patrick, ©2010 Kindle Direct Publishing Edition is a rather benign, lukewarm story of romance in advancing years. In my opinion, many readers would never finish the book because the end is very predictable. Since I dislike not finishing a job, I trudged through it all to the end. What makes …
Hank, Go to Bed!
Like Hank, I have been exceptionally tired this week. DLST seems to do it to me every time! Hank could not seem to find a comfortable place to rest this morning. He rooted around in the bedding trying to make a comfortable place but he looked very uncomfortable. Poor little hamster guy. I picked him …
Focus
After studying a lesson on Focus in my ladies Bible study group, I just had to justify myself! Before you start to read, I need to admit that I have Adult Attention Deficit Disorder (AADD). It doesn’t seem that I was born with it. As I advanced in years and number of children, I learned …
Missed One
Another Bible Inspire entry. My Bible reading today took me through Deuteronomy 5-7. For future reference to my Bible scholar readers, chapters 5-29 are charges given by Moses to the congregation of the Nation, Israel, and to the person who would lead them into Canaan, Joshua. I find it a very encouraging book. Chapter 5 …
