WHAT IT COST
WHAT IT COST Over the years, I have often reflected on what it cost Jesus to redeem us, and I am reminded of the unimaginable torture He endured on the day that He went to the Cross. Words that come to my mind to describe His cost are pain, grief, loneliness, sadness,...
The Greatest Servant
“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.“ ~ Mark 10:45 If we are honest, most of us would rather be served than to serve. Our flesh loves to be served; it makes us feel good. It makes us feel special...
Holy in an Unholy World
Holy in an Unholy World Getting a fresh taste of God's word fills and thrills my soul. Every year, I enjoy reading from a different translation as I travel from beginning to end. This year, I chose the Day-by-Day Chronological Bible. It highlights how God has written...
Is God in the Details?
What a beautiful, warm, and sunny day! I can't wait for spring. It is officially twelve days away, but you would assume that with today's weather, we were already there. It is my favorite time of the year. My pink saucer magnolia tree is in full bloom. It was rainy...

On Sept. 25, 1999, we hosted the annual church picnic at our home. It was a day filled with fishing, horseback riding, food, and fellowship. We always ended the day with a hayride. A few minutes prior to everyone leaving for the hayride, my son and a few other young...
God Is Working
This is a true story, but not my story. It is a story of sorrow but also joy! I once had a good friend I will call Pat. She developed lymphoma, but treatments and surgeries were not successful. Sadly, in 2022, she was sent home to die. Even sadder, though, was her...
Running My Race
“Let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus…" Hebrews 12:1-2 Someone very wise and close to me once said, “ When I meet Jesus, I want to meet Him on my knees,...
The Great Yet
I recently read a verse that made me pause, re-read, and consider because the verse felt like a hug. It was the kind of thing you read at just the right time, in just the right place, and it was so comforting for me at that moment. The verse is Isaiah 54:10, and it...
