Do You Have A Decent Source Of Water?

John 4:14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst.  Indeed, the water I give them  will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life." Water An integral part of our life.  Without it; we can not survive.  Yet there are nations that struggle.  Clean drinking water - scarce.  Their survival in the balance.  Poverty a way of life.  Needy.  Jesus repeatedly used analogies involving  water.  It is something we all need.  Crave.  Can not live without.  Yet, He ...

Do You Know Where To Go To Find Joy?

Death, Cancer. They have knocked on the door.  They even moved in and resided.  No rent paid.  Demanding; always asking for more.  The heaviness of loss always present.  Always before you.  Reminders in every corner; at every turn.  A history.  Part of you-  Gone.  Yet, deep inside there is a joy.  A joy that can never be taken.  It is seen in the faces of many who have experienced much more heartache than we could ever imagine.  It is in the faces of those that call Haiti their ...

Getting Ready To Go

In 2 days my farmer and his daughter are leaving.  They are flying with love and prayers to a third world country.  A life long dream for both of them.  Because of your generosity, financially and prayerfully,  these two are going to be the hands and feet of Jesus.  We pack suitcases full of baby cereal and formula.  I pray.  We want this bag to hold these tangible items but more importantly  We want the love of Jesus to be known.  We have known help. We have know grace.  In the face of dire financial times and ... View Post

Those Ancient Words

. The Ancient Words Helping.  Spreading hope.  Our compass.  Guiding and encouraging.  Truth.  And a reminder in a song.  Those words are holy.  Handed down through generations.  Faithful ones, sharing their journey.  Changing us.  Molding us into the children we were created to be.  The sustenance in my life.  Evermore so these past 17 and a half months.  When time stopped. The Ancient Word breathing life.  Word by word.  Though by thought.  Reminder by reminder.  The Captain at the ... View Post

Are Those Waters Really Uncharted? Day #5 of Thankfulness

There are days when everything is hard.  Getting out of bed.  Focusing.  The weight of this world.  The "what ifs" of the day.  Looming.  When all the woes seem to circle round.  The crisp clarity is marred.  And you wonder,"What is this all for?" Meaning clamors for attention.  It can rise and become the driven thought.  Pushing aside any beauty.  It is loud and demanding.  A churning and unsettled place to be.  We hope for answers.  A solid plan wanted. That 5 year plan. Yet, in a moment 5 year plans ... View Post

A Letter To God

So much of my daily journey takes me back to last year. How I felt. So much I do not remember. So much is still stuck vividly in my mind. This post echoes the cry of my heart. This week I have felt weary and worn. But we are holding on. Clinging to the rock that is higher than I.  Dear God,      I find myself in a deep place today. My first thoughts are usually to bring praise and Glory to your name. It is the habit established for more than 20 years now. My first thoughts when my eyes flutter open are to praise you. . .no matter how I feel. Today. . .I opened my eyes and ... View Post
