I spoke with a young man the other day. The subject of age came up. When he found out I was old enough to retire over sixteen years ago he asked why I didn’t. “Because I like my job as a chaplain. Why quit? The Bible never talks about people retiring.” Abraham was eighty-six when he fathered his first child. Moses started on his forty-year trek leading the Israelites through the desert when he was eighty. Noah started building the…
When I visited Ireland I saw strong, stone towers somewhat similar to the one above. Proverbs 18:10 says, The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous runs into it and is safe. When Vikings came to wipe out a settlement, the citizens ran into these towers. Today, we have the name of Jesus as our strong tower. Are you trusting Him for His protection?

This is my second year trying to grow a garden. My late husband was the gardener in the family. Now, it’s up to me. Last year my attempts fell woefully short so I bought gardening books and even pulled out a couple my dad used about forty years ago. Armed with heirloom seeds from Planter’s, a fascinating seed store in downtown Kansas City, I set out to try again. I chose heirloom seeds rather than hybrid so I can…
With the snow we had last week our garden-planting has gotten a late start. Josh and I tried planting carrots and radishes but the seeds are so small you can’t locate them to know how deep to cover them with dirt. I took some Elmer’s water soluable glue and attached them to toilet paper. Each seed is three inches from the other so they won’t have to be thinned later. The radishes are between the carrots. That way, radishes spring…
Matthew 10:8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. Jesus, how can we do these things? We can’t do this on our own. My child, invite My Spirit to indwell you for You can’t do this alone. Put your trust in Me. Step out bravely and you’ll see things you thought were only history. Zechariah 4:6b ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of…
https://youtu.be/q6sHNLmYbAM?list=PLgn4viMGbbmDEw-R3MoYRYuRlmsgxd2A3 There is an excellent new video out for free on YouTube. You can also get the app on your phone or tablet and cast it to your TV. There are eight episodes in the first season with eight seasons planned. If you haven’t seen it I would highly recommend it. The first episode I found a little hard to follow because they were introducing the main characters, but by the second episode it was much easier to follow….
There is a lot of talk these days of end times. I wrote this poem last week. What Does the Future Hold? Only God knows, but I know Him and He knows me. That’s all I need to know futuristically.
Expiration Date We each have an expiration date stamped in an unseen spot. The date is known only to our Creator. He knows those who’ll spend eternity with Him and those who will not. You see, we’ll all live forever. It’s up to us to choose the spot. Choose Jesus as your ruler to view eternity from heaven. Otherwise, you’ll live forever where it’s dark and hot.

Never tire of resting in Me. I love your petitions and praises. I have planned your steps. Trust Me for every one. Father God, Help me to remember and do Your Word.
Photo by Poppy Thomas Hill There are a couple of great websites I follow every day. The first is GiveHim15.com from Dutch Sheets for prayer strategies for our nation and world. He is a great source of encouragement. The second is a newer list to me. It’s elijahlist.com. A recent post, “This Month, Push Into Him for Miracles” by Jamie Rohrbauch was an excellent one. In the article she gives some very practical suggestions for seeing God move in your…
