Genesis contains the biblical version of this World’s birth, so how fitting it is to read Genesis on New Year’s day! Genesis 1:1 opens with“In the beginning God…” The author of this book, Moses, did the best he could, with the knowledge he had, to write the creation story. In my opinion, Moses gives us an…

The Most Precious Gift
Giving to others from your abundance is good; however, giving away something you cherish is better…even Christlike. Jesus gave up his riches to become a homeless man, and in the end, he gave us the best gift ever given…himself. Maybe on this Christmas Eve we should honor him by giving our most precious gift…ourselves. ***
Rivers of Water
I was on my way home from the hospital and my first born was lying in an incubator at Pitt Memorial. The last thing I wanted to do was leave her, but circumstances prevailed, and it became something unavoidable. As I lay in bed that night my heart and mind, extremely distressed, I could not…
The Ultimate Misfit
One Christmas morning I was up before the birds and all in the house was quiet as a mouse. I was sad, rejected, a misfit because there were certain relationships within my family strained and almost nonexistent. My children and I were were separated by many American miles. As I sat in the silence of…
I’ll Vote for Mickey Mouse

In Search of Mahanaim
…for they said, “The people are hungry, weary, and thirsty in the wilderness.” II Samuel 17:29 King David and his followers ran for their lives into the wilderness.

My Story…
A question was posed at church yesterday: Where and when have you experienced the movement of the Spirit? My Story… It was Christmas morning and I was sad. I was sad because I felt alone. Yes, I was the only one up…Corinne, the puppies, and the kitties were snuggled in their beds with visions of…
Beer-Battered Baby Squash & Blooms
I could wait no longer! I had to have them and nothing would deter me. Standing by my little garden I salivated as I gazed down upon the treasure; and so putting an end to my hesitation, I bent down and picked six baby squash, one with a lovely bloom intact. That was the beginning…
A Cup of Water
Reaching out across the ocean to help the helpless is honorable and necessary, but we don’t have to go to war-torn countries to be of service to those in need. Open your eyes for there are battle worn souls in the midst. “You don’t have to travel the world to serve; you can find opportunities…
