There is nothing new under the sun. Sometimes that is a scary thought. To us, we have new experiences, we meet new people, we even take new paths…starting a new job can be a little frightening. Maybe we take the bus for the first time and we are alone in the journey; it’s totally new … Continue reading New Things

Rumors
"Burning lips and a wicked heart are like a potsherd covered with silver dross." Proverbs 26:23 (KJV) Start a rumor and watch it spread. Those glass shards are almost impossible to eradicate...they find places to penetrate and cause all kinds of problems. People are drawn to the shiny pieces of gossip. Why, then, can’t we … Continue reading Rumors
Wait and Hope
“Remembering mine affliction and my misery, The wormwood and the gall. My soul hath them still in remembrance, And is humbled in me. This I recall to my mind, Therefore have I hope.” Lamentations 3:19-21 (KJV) In Deuteronomy, God tells Moses to warn the children of Israel that they will depart from Him and great … Continue reading Wait and Hope
Resistant
Roots of doubt and sin run deep. We can pull out the roots and clean up all the trash, but if we leave just one piece behind, that one piece is enough to start a new plant. Think in the natural sense, how bulbs are cut and multiplied. These plants become resistant to all kinds … Continue reading Resistant

Our coworkers move up the ladder or on to bigger and better things. We move up, too. Or we change … Continue reading Zoom…Out

Serving
Funny thing happened the other day… I was cooking a meal for I don’t know probably 50-60 people. I got up early that morning, got everything going. I cooked the entire meal. No problem. It wasn’t until I went to serve that I realized I had no spoons. It’s funny to me how much we … Continue reading Serving
Who Am I…
Point of Grace asks “LORD, Who am I that YOU would speak to me so softly…?” How can I even think to be worthy of any conversation with GOD much less be found worthy of a drop of grace? I was thinking of the woman with the issue of blood…and wondering if I would be … Continue reading Who Am I…
