  • Of Dead-Heading and Vision Problems

    I love dead-heading my flowers. Early in the morning and in the cool evening hours I go out and spend time trimming away, especially at the Petunias in hope it would encourage more blossoms, which in turn attract hummingbirds and butterflies. Today, in the midst of my summer bliss of…

  • Be Bold

    God faithfully ministers to my heart. He draws us His with His powerful love, Straight into His presence. The following song is a powerful reminder for me. I pray it might encourage you as well.

  • Words Galore

    Your words are as endless as sand on a shore, Strung together in books And in blogs galore. You speak them with vigor and zeal the same As if you’re vying for spots In Christendom’s fame Your words sit on tables and nightstands – piled high Proclaiming your wisdom Your…

  • All For Him

    What is the wind – Were it not for man’s walk In a cool morning breeze Where He hears his God talk? What is the sun – Were it not for man’s eyes Which when turned to horizons See new mercies arise? What is the bird – Were it not…

  • What Kind of Tree Are You?

    Originally posted on Unshakable Hope: Some might be disappointed, but this is not one of those quizzes like I see posted on Facebook. (There actually is one of those quizzes with this same title, but I didn’t take it because I was afraid that the results would show that I was…
