Variety

Variety can be a spice of life! It can be even better than a rest. However, sometimes we can be busy doing this and that and forget to care and love and be sensitive to others. I know I do. God knows all about variety as he made this world…

Media Muddles

,
It's so easy to get in a muddle and we want to cry 'Get me out of here' when our circumstances become overwhelming.  However, there is a way through the mass of media communications that confront us each day. We can so easily mishear something…

Beautiful Diamonds

,
The human race can reflect God's beauty as we yield and surrender to our maker. God's grace then becomes apparent and the beauty of Christ begins to show.  This takes humility and meekness and a willingness to embrace total servanthood. The…

Life for us humans is so incredibly short.  To think that the likes of Noah and his contemporaries lived hundreds and hundreds of years. Among them was Enoch who the Bible says walked with God and then was not because God took him (Genesis 5:24). …
