A meteor shower happened just the other night. Our family had heard about the expected event on the news and it was supposed to be amazing. Later that night, our family was on our way home from church and we were all excited to see some "shooting stars". We drove faster to get out of all the lights of the city into a darker area so we could see a little better. If we...

Summer is such a wonderful time of year!  School is out, vacations are planned, the potential for fun is endless.  It is so exciting in the days leading up to a much anticipated activity.  The wait can almost be overwhelming.  As Christians, we have the most wonderful, amazing place waiting for us...Heaven.  The Bible tells us that eye has not seen, nor...

It won't last forever. That is a very comforting thought sometimes. When we are going through a rough place in our lives, we have to remember that the storms don't last forever. In fact, when they are over, they usually bring the most beautiful peace. But in order to experience that comforting peace, we must hold on tight to the Lord through the roughest times. Just as the...

John 3:16...this is perhaps the most well known Bible verse ever written, and to me the most important.  These few words give hope to every person on the planet.  It is all inclusive...there are no stipulations attached.  Whosoever...that means the old, young, rich, poor, good, bad, and ugly!  God sent His one and only precious son to bleed and die for you, and for...

Solomon told us in the Book of Proverbs that a merry heart does good like a medicine!  When I was younger, I remember laughing until my sides hurt, until I could hardly breath.  That is a wonderful feeling.  I don't think I do that as often now, which is a little sad.  Sometimes we just need to practice being happy and just laugh for a while! Sounds silly,...

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8 I do believe this single verse in the Bible would solve about 99% of our problems if we could...

I really regret that...oh how I wish I could go back and do that differently.  Has that thought ever crossed your mind?  I have wished for a time machine a time or two in my life...to go back and right some wrong I had done, or to redo some failure in my life.  The beautiful thing about coming to know Christ is that He remembers our sins, mistakes, faults, and failures...

Not all of our experiences with God are mountaintop experiences.  Some of our most intimate times with God are spent learning all over again the depths of His mercy and love for us.  We as human beings are so flawed and imperfect, and it takes a perfect Savior to bring us back to a right relationship with God. When we feel ourselves slipping away from God, (and deep down, we...

The first words that God speaks in the Bible are, "Let there be light." And there was...and it was good!  Many years ago my husband and I visited Mammoth Cave and we took a tour to the bottom of the cave.  While down there, the tour guide turned off all the lights and it was the most intense darkness I have ever experienced.  It is so dark in fact, the fish in...

Have you ever walked through a field of wild flowers?  We live in the country, so we are blessed to be able to see fields of flowers, to listen to the birds singing praises to God every morning.  Birds and wildflowers...these are two things that a lot of people don't give a lot of thought to. I can tell you that God does. Matthew 6:25-34 tells us just how much God loves...
