October 20, 2026 Today I am reminded of the price that Jesus paid for me. For me. Why would anyone do that for someone so not worthy? It is only because of His great love for us!

October 14, 2026 Did you put on your armor this morning? A good quiet time Every morning for prayer, Bible reading and meditation is essential To a strong Christian walk.

October 13, 2026 I have never seen one of these in action, but having goats I can see Why it would be helpful. Sometimes you just can’t catch them! But you can Grab them with that hook because they don’t see it coming!

October 12, 2026 I thought this was pretty. I know that the cross was a terrible Instrument, but what it represents to us is priceless!

October 11, 2026 It makes me happy to know that if I am lost, Jesus won’t give up On me. He will keep searching until He finds me again!

October 10, 2026 I just can’t help myself. I love the colors of rainbows!

October 9, 2026 This was from a sermon. I was doing a series on “Who is” and this was One of them, talking about Jesus! Have you heard of him?

October 8, 2026 A great army is always there when you need them. But God is always There, even when the army fails. Because God never fails!

October 7, 2026 I see pictures like this one and I get very wistful and depressed. But at the same time there is something attractive about it. It's hard to pin down all the emotions it evokes.

October 6, 2026 This was not the greatest AI picture, but I have been reflecting on the Via Dolarosa, where Jesus had to carry the crossbeam of the Cross to His own crucifixion. He did that for us. Wow!

October 5, 2026 I'm sorry, but I just love color! I asked AI to create me a pic, and this is what it came up with. It's interesting. But I do love the color! You know, God could have made the world black and white and we wouldn't have known the difference. But I'm so glad He didn't!

October 4, 2026 I thought this was an interesting picture. I gave AI some basic instructions and this is what it came up with. Have you used AI for anything?

October 3, 2026 There is something so forlorn about a tree in the middle of nowhere covered in snow. And yet it is so beautiful! God has given us such a beautiful and interesting creation!

October 2, 2026 Did you know that hot and steamy showers were not a thing in just about every home around 50 years ago? I don't know about you, but there's nothing like a hot shower after a hard day's work!

October 1, 2026 We did our Alabaster offering this past Sunday. All the money goes to building schools and hospitals in countries where these facilities are needed but can't be afforded. What a great thing to give money for!

September 30, 2026 My young hens have begun to lay eggs! I am getting about four eggs per day right now, but looking forward to getting a dozen or more a day. We eat a lot of eggs!

September 29, 2026 We took a trip to Glen Rose Texas several years ago and I think we should take another one. All kis need to see the dinosaur footprints. It is the coolest thing!

September 28, 2026 I get more and more excited as I hear the news of all the archeological finds that have been uncovered in the last few years. And the Durupinar site is the biggest of them all!

September 27, 2026 I don't know if you've been watching the news, but they are really excavating at the Duripinar site in Turkey. Noah's Ark? Possibly!

September 26, 2026 Summer is coming to an end, but here in Texas we will (hopefully) have a glorious warm Fall with lots of family, friends, and of course BBQ!

September 25, 2026 I am so glad that God gave us color! I just love lots and lots of bright colors. I also love pastels, but sometimes you just need a burst of glorious colors! Thank You, Lord!

September 24, 2026 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:7

September 23, 2026 I love early mornings, just before sunrise. It is so quiet and peaceful. It is the best time for being with the Lord. The day has not yet started and it is easy to sit and focus on God, listening, praying, reading, meditating. Just waiting on the Lord before the rush and bustle of the day.

September 22, 2026 Did you have a pet growing up? We had a dog named Nugget - half collie, half german shepherd. The sweetest dog! I remember hearing about the day he died. I was heartbroken. We never forget our first pets!

September 21, 2026 It has occurred to me that I would not appreciate the sunny days as much if there weren't any cloudy days. So thank You, Lord, for the cloudy days that make me appreciate the sunny ones!

September 20, 2026 How lovely on the mountain are the feet of them who bring good news, proclaiming peace, announcing news of happiness. Our God Reigns! Isaiah 52:7

September 19, 2026 People are more connected than ever, and yet they are lonelier than ever. We need to be with people, physically. And we need to interact with people physically. God made us for real relationships.

September 18, 2026 Jesus is Lord, yesterday, today and forever Is He Lord of your life?

September 17, 2026 Do you paint? I have always wanted to be artistic in this way, but the talent just isn't there. Anyway, I am musical, and I create in other ways. How about you?

September 16, 2026 We have been nearly two months without rain and the ground is so dry. Lord, we could really use some rain about now. Thank you!

September 15, 2026 We live on a stunningly beautiful planet. But I can't wait to see the New Heavens and the New Earth!

September 14, 2026 There have been a couple of notable eclipses in the last few years. I remember one big eclipse when I was a kid. My brother was working up some tin foil contraption to be able to view it. This was long before cell phones and Internet. I didn't understand what he wa doing or why it was such a big deal. I do now!

September 13, 2026 These wispy clouds are very high up in the sky, just doing their thing with no one bothering them. They have full faith in themselves because they are being what God made them. We, too, should trust that we are being what God made us.

September 12, 2026 When the storm clouds come it is too late to start changing your life. If there are things you should change, then you should start now. That way you are ready when hhose storm clouds come.

September 11, 2026 Do you have a favorite place to pray? I have a special chair. Some people have a closet. Some people have something different every day. That's perfectly fine! The goal is to take time to pray every morning and spend time with your Lord and Savior. He wants to spend time with you!

September 10, 2026 We have a lot of Mockingbirds around here, and they can sing thirty or more different songs. It makes me think of Jesus. Do I sing His songs?

September 9, 2026 I just love baby goats! We hope to have a few in the next year. They are so much fun I could just watch them all day!

September 8, 2026 Sometimes we get ahead of ourselves and shoot ourselves down. Life is coming at us so fast it feels like there is no time to think. But we must slow down and make time for the things that really matter. Faith and Family.

September 7, 2026 Are you celebrating Labor Day? We have decided to cook something special for the family and enjoy their company!

September 6, 2026 Are you finding yourself in a storm of life right now? Jesus is our Rock. The world can swirl around us with everything in an uproar. But Jesus is the solid Rock on which we stand. Steadfast, immovable.

September 5, 2026 The beauty of this world simply astonishes me. But when I realize that the new heavens and the new earth will be a million times better I am simply speechless.

September 4, 2026 One of my favorite Psalms is Psalm 139, because it talks about how God knit us in our mother's womb. It is such a great visual!

September 3, 2026 Many people have not thought much about it, but the water creatures were not subject to the flood of Noah, though clearly many died. But God was wiping out all "who had the breath of life" in them. Because the flood was water, many sea creatures were just fine. And Noah did not take any fish on the Ark that we know of!

September 2, 2026 I spend most of my day oblivious to the beauty around me simply because I am busy focusing on other things. But every once in a while I am stopped in my tracks by the beauty that God has given me. Then I pause and thank Him and enjoy what He is showing me. I think it's His way of letting me know that although my mind was somewhere else, His wasn't.

September 1, 2026 Here we are in September already. It is the perfect time to take a vacation (if you don't have kids in school) and relax before all the "seasons" begin. (Fall, Thanksgiving, Christmas). It can seem like a crazy time, so take a break now and catch your breath.

August 31, 2026 Just a picture of a beautiful refreshing waterfall today. We have been thirty days without rain and in the 100's of degrees. It's been hot. So this picture looks especially inviting!

August 30, 2026 I know I just mentioned God's supply a couple of days ago, but I wanted to say a little bit more. Do we trust Him? Do we trust Him even when He doesn't seem to hear us or come through for us as we expect? Do we believe He has our best in mind? If the answer is yes, then we must simply accept from His hand what He gives, or accept that He is not going to give. He has a reason that we simply can't know. He is God and we are not.

August 29, 2026 As a Christian, we are not shielded from sorrows. But at the same time we always have God, who understands more deeply than we can know. So even within the times of sorrow we have peace and joy.

August 28, 2026 Birds don't worry about their next meal. We should not either. Trust God. He promises to supply. It might not always look like what we expect. But He always supplies.

August 27, 2026 There is such beauty in the world. Everywhere we look we see beauty. God didn't have to make it that way and we would never have known. But He is generous.

August 26, 2026 Rage is something we are seeing more and more. People no longer know how to control their emotions. Rage occurs when people simply don't get their way and they think they should. But the truth is that life is not fair. We all often don't get our way. It is part of being an adult to control our emotions.

August 25, 2026 Jealousy is a terrible thief of joy and peace. If you find yourself becoming jealous of someone, ask yourself why, and then truly consider the situation. Is it worth losing your joy over? Is it worth possibly losing a friend over? It is best to examine those feelings and then find a way to let them go.

August 24, 2026 Do you know someone struggling with sadness or depression? Maybe it can help if they know that the situation they are currently in will not last. Everything changes, except God and His goodness.

August 23, 2026 The word "joy" conjures up images of people who are just giddy with happiness. But I think there is a deeper meaning. It is an inner peace and happiness even in the midst of outward storms. Life can be a chaotic mess (and sometimes it just is), but that doesn't have to translate to a chaotic life.

When we are abiding in Christ, no matter what is going on we can have the joy of the Lord.

August 22, 2026 It takes a strong will to be self-controlled. It is easy to have self control when everything is going well, but to have it in the midst of storms? Well, that's something we all admire. So let's strive to have it for ourselves.

August 21, 2026 Do you think you're a patient person? Some people are more naturally patient, but some of us have to work at it. But it is a fruit of the Spirit, so it's worth working towards.

August 20, 2026 The fruits of the Spirit should come naturally if we are abiding with Christ. If we are struggling to produce the fruits, then we need to check which tree we are currently grafted to. We are to abide in the vine that is Jesus. Only then will the fruit naturally be produced to bless others.

August 19, 2026 Do you find peace in prayer? Or do you find prayer difficult? It is just talking to God. He is a real person. Even though He doesn't speak back out loud, don't ever think that He is not speaking. He speaks to us through Scripture. So when you pray, have your Bible open. Read and memorize, and develop all of that into a peaceful, joyful habit.

August 18, 2026 What does this remind you of? If you are older like I am, It brings back memories of what seemed like a simpler time. It may not have been simpler, but it sure seems like it.

August 17, 2026 My church building is located in a little town. It's little but booming and there are so many projects that it makes my head spin. This little town won't be little for much longer!

August 16, 2026 I had a discussion with a Muslim a few days ago, and he simply can't wrap his head around the Trinity. He tells me that Allah is very simple, a singular God all alone in the heavens.

I have tried to explain to him that the God of the Bible is much more complex than that. A God I can wrap my head around is too small. But the God of the Bible is triune - three persons in one being. He is community in unity.

Think about this. How can a singular God, all alone in the cosmos, be love? Who is there to love unless He creates something to love? But the God of the Bible was love before He created anything - because He is community within Himself. He loves completely, apart from His creation. But this is how we know He can love His creation.

August 15, 2026 Memorizing Scripture is not hard, it just takes concentration and effort. But the more we hide God's word in our hearts the more the Holy Spirit can speak to us.

August 14, 2026 Do you have young children? How do you talk to them about God and Jesus? When my kids were young I just spoke as if it was natural to talk to and about God and Jesus all day long. And so it became natural for them as well.

August 13, 2026 The concept of salvation by grace alone is a difficult concept, becuase nothing is ever free. But in this case, someone else paid for it. Here is what I mean:

God is perfect and holy. No matter how hard we try, we can never be perfect and holy. So God Himself paid the price to cleanse us and make us perfect and holy, if we want it. Why would He do that? Because He loves us and He wants to share our lives with us.

August 12, 2026 Do you have someone you're praying for? Hang in there and keep praying for them. You never know what events will transpire in their lives that will cause them to begin to question. And that's when they are ready to pay attention to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

August 11, 2026 While not my favorite, there is one proverb that always stands out to me, and that is Proverbs 19:11, which says, "A man’s insight gives him patience, and his virtue is to overlook an offense. This is great advice, but very hard to follow. Our pride often gets in the way. But I keep it before me so that I am reminded that Jesus never let His pride get in the way of saving me.

August 10, 2026 My favorite verses seem to change depending on my mood, my situation and things the Lord speaks to me about. This week I am really loving Psalm 16, especially the part where it says He has shown to me the paths of life and in His presence is fullness of joy, at His right hand are pleasures forevermore.

August 9, 2026 Why are there so many different denominations of Christians? The answer is simple. Human frailty. We misunderstand Scripture, or we misinterpret Scripture, or we simply twist Scripture. Or, we have our own opinions about things such as style of worship, the color of the walls and so on. Because humans are frail and not all knowing, we tend to split into various denominations as we have read and interpreted Scripture.

Not all denominations are bad. Some splits come down to belief about the Holy Spirit, or about music,. Those things are not salvation issues, and they are not as important as splits over doctrine.

Now, some splits happen because a denomination has compromised the Word of God for its own reasons. When that happens, a new denomination might spring up. Hopefully, one that is resting on the pure doctrines of Scripture.

August 8, 2026 Maybe I'm crazy, but I find reading the Bible comforting as well as inspiring, educational, growth-promoting, and so on. Here is what I mean. I read my Bible to meet God. I am reading about all the things He did, is doing, and will do. I get to know Him better. I get to understand Him better. That can't happen if people don't open their Bibles.

August 7, 2026 Do you know of any helpful apps? I would love to hear about them. I really love the Bible Hub app, and also YouVersion. I also find Bing Translator handy. I know there are thousands of apps out there. Which ones do you use the most?

August 6, 2026 I listened to a fascinating podcast about the ancient Sumerian writings and the book of Enoch. Both confirm that there were once giants roaming the land. But apparently, at least in the case of the ancient Sumerian writing, the scientific community wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. So the data is pretty obscure. However, it is out there for anyone that wants to look.

August 5, 2026 Have you ever heard a message that was life-changing? I've heard many, but the one that stands out was given by John Maxwell. Excellent speaker, excellent message, and it changed how I thought about evangelism.

August 4, 2026 The tenet of faith involving entire sanctification is often misunderstood. It doesn't mean you are now so clean that you are perfect and you will never sin again. It means that you have chosen to try and be so close to the Lord that you simply don't want to sin anymore. Can you? Yes, you can. But you discover that you don't have to, and you don't want to.

August 3, 2026 Did I mention how much I love my church family?!

August 2, 2026 Proverbs 3:27 has had a big impact on my life as well. Every time my pride wants me to withhold something from someone, these words ring in my ear. Bravo conscience! You win.S

August 1, 2026 An author that has had a big impact on my Christian development is A.W. Tozer. Especially his book "The Knowledge of the Holy." I think every Christian should read this book at least once.
