“It is well with my soul…” (Horatio Spafford “When Peace Like a River”) Do we have the humility to claim that statement? Pride often prevents us from accepting blessings. Does that sound odd to you? Wouldn’t you think that pride deserves accolades? Pride is boastful, after all, right? Pride puffs up, right? So wouldn’t blessings … Continue reading My Soul

Thoughts on Sin
“Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, And hath conceived mischief, and brought forth falsehood.” Psalm 7:14 KJV Why do we fight with sin? Why do we try to bury it? Or cover up our transgressions? Do we not realize that by doing this we are actually planting seeds and giving sin a place to grow? If … Continue reading Thoughts on Sin
Prayer and Praise
“If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?” Psalm 11:3 KJV I was thinking about traditions the other day, about what they are.

Take Time
This morning, I was doing some thinking. I was thinking about something my mom would say to me when I was sick. She would ask me if I would rather go to work and do what I could and get paid for being there, or sit at home, feeling bad, worrying about work and not … Continue reading Take Time
Surety
When we lay aside the things we think and focus on the things that the Lord says, we can find comfort. Daily we face trials and temptations and we often think we are alone in all this. But we are not. Even if you don’t know my struggle and I don’t know your story, the … Continue reading Surety
Little Thoughts
Uncertainty…the storm approaches but all I feel is calm, a peace during this storm. My thoughts and my trust is in my Lord, the One who made the winds and rains.
