Yea, Though I Walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death… .
During the most desperate times in my life, when It was impossible for me to “fix” anything, I clung to the pages of God’s Word, and called out to Him.
The sacrifice of Abraham
Rosh Hashanah and the Mourning of Muharram
The Brotherhood of Man I have written in the past, concerning my understanding of the shared ancestry of Jews, Christians and Muslims (Arab) through Abraham, as described in the Bible. On Monday, I posted about the significance of Rosh Hashanah for Christians. This morning, I noticed that one of my calendars showed Rosh Hashanah and a Muslim […]
It’s an OCC-OCC-OCD World! (December 2015)
Tuesday, December 15, 2015. I haven’t posted an update in a couple of months, perhaps because three deaths in the family occurred recently. And, while the passing of these three individuals, my youngest sister, one of my brothers-in-law, and the mother of a different brother-in-law, I would like to share the beautiful way that God is […]
It’s an OCC-OCC-OCD World! (October 2015)
Tuesday, October 6, 2015. It’s 2 am, and I’m wide awake. After three nights of sleeping 5-6 consecutive hours like normal folks, Insomnia strikes AGAIN! Ugh! It’s very frustrating. After forcing myself to go to bed before midnight for the last three nights, I made the mistake of taking a nap around 9 this morning, […]
I’m So Glad I Grew Up with Animals
“Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. You look like a blah-blah… And you smell like one, too!” I remember hearing and singing this ditty as a young child with my friends, then, laughing and chasing each other around in fun. The ironic thing is, I probably did often smell like some kind of […]
The Sheep of His Pasture
“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me: And I give unto them eternal life.” (John 10:27-29 KJV) The Christian walk can be a difficult one. We, naturally (that is to say, the “natural” man in us) want to do our own thing. But, the new Spirit man in us […]
On Grief and Comfort
(Photo courtesy of K-Love, Scott and Kelli) I could not have known that, on July 29th of this year, I would be paying the price of love, and entering my own passage through grief. My youngest sister, Becky, died suddenly, after battling with mystifying illnesses—and mis-diagnosed symptoms—off and on, for years. Her […]
To My Jewish Friends
Before Yeshua, Gentiles were godless people, or worshipped false gods, which are no gods. “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness?” (2 Corinthians 6:14 KJV) But now, true Christian believers worship the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, whose […]
It’s an OCC-OCC-OCD World! (January 2015)
Saturday, January 3, 2015. I tried something that have haven’t done for a few years: I set some New Year’s resolutions. One was to begin using the Neat scanner that I spent $400 on, two or three years ago, to faithfully scan in all my receipts. Another was to stop spending days on end in […]
Izzy the Baby Worshipper
“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.” (Psalms 8:2 KJV) Is there anything more innocent than a toddler praising her Creator!Two Year Old Praising God to Chris Tomlin’s “Our God” (Click to view.) “And said, Verily I […]
Not Defined by the Size of Our Jeans (reblog)
Proverbs 31 Ministries “Not Defined by the Size of our Jeans” by Emily T. Wierenga The moon was a slice of white in the night sky… . I was holding a baby doctors had said I’d never be able to have… . I have two sons now, and I’ve had two miscarriages too, and there’s […]
Signs That God Exists
Whether or not to believe in the existence of God (YHWH, pron. Jehovah) is a very personal decision. In my case, I was introduced to the concept of entering into a personal relationship with the God of the Bible, through what was described to me as a process of reconciliation. God sent His only Son, […]
“Mom, I Wish You Could Have Been Here on Mother’s Day.”
As Mother’s Day approached this year, I mentally recounted, as I do every year, how long it had been since my mother had passed away—nearly 19, and I felt a sudden pang, as that cruelly-ordinary number suddenly made my mom feel so very far away. I felt a familiar wave of sadness, and a soul-deep […]
Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner (reblog)
from larkandbloom This blog is not serving it’s purpose if I am ever anything but honest. Many of your lives are different from mine – politically, romantically, geographically and in our religious views. I really enjoy that about this space and try to mindful of that every time I sit down to type. This isn’t […]
