As we watch hiccup after hiccup of our government from our wide-open borders, runaway government corruption, and out-of-control inflation, the situations seem insurmountable. These would be if it were not for one overwhelming factor. God.  He tells us in Philippians 4:6,7, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ…

So What’s Wrong with Crystals?

So What’s Wrong with Crystals?

Comments 4 comments

Every few years the fad of crystals comes around again. I spoke to someone recently who wanted to know more about their healing qualities.  I’ll not debate the pros and cons of crystals. The problem lies with the place given them in our hearts. Jesus Christ is our healer. He was whipped with a cat-o-nine tails that we can be healed. (By His stripes we have been healed-1 Peter 2:24.)  In Isaiah 42:8 God says, “I will not give My…

Spring Garden

My garden looks rather small and insignificant at this point, but given enough light and water, perhaps we’ll have some produce from it this summer–if the squirrels and rabbits don’t get it first.  Spring is also when my large plants escape the basement under grow lights where they’ve been for the past six months. They’d stay there the entire year if it weren’t for the excellent help from son, Josh, who dutifully loads each one on a dolly and lugs…

Four Years

Four Years

Comments 6 comments

Four years ago this week we buried my husband. In a way it seems like a hundred years since we embraced; in other ways it seems he only left yesterday.  His death would be a sad thing except we know we’ll see him again–on the other side where there are no tears, no sighs and no sad good-bys. This fact isn’t because he was a good man. It is because Jesus conquered death by His raising from the grave. Because…

What if there had been no Joseph of Arimathea? He’s the guy who offered his new tomb in which to place Jesus’ body after the crucifixion.  Because Jesus was executed as a criminal, His body belonged to the Roman government. It would have been thrown on the trash heap outside the city. Had He risen from the dead, no one could have proved it. Joseph of Arimathea was no ordinary citizen. He was a member of the Sanhedrin, one of…

As I walked down the hospital hall a couple of weeks ago I noticed a sign that read, “7 out of 10 colon cancer patients have no symptoms.” I could agree with that whole-heartedly, because I had no symptoms that one would associate with colon cancer. Since January of 2022 I’d felt short of breath and seemed tired, but who would associate that with colon cancer? I made an appointment with my general practitioner who did the usual blood tests…
