riding and rejoicing

Hubby and I like riding on our Goldwing. I like taking pictures while riding. I took this sunset while riding through Amish country in Ohio. It reminds me of Psalm 118:24, “This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”  —submitted by Sherry Metzger,... read more »

John 13:34-35: So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other. Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are My disciples. Have you been born again by the Spirit of God? If you have, then you are a member of the body... read more »

Someday I want to go skydiving. While I’m not overly fond of heights, I think there’s something incredible about jumping out of an airplane with a parachute (and an instructor soaring tandem with me!). As kids, my sister and I would jump off our second-story deck into the huge mounds of snow... read more »

no satisfaction

In May of 1965, The Rolling Stones recorded the song I Can’t Get No Satisfaction. Shortly after its release, the tune rose to the No. 1 song in the United States. How right they were. No matter how much we try and try and try, satisfaction seems to slip through our fingers. But is it true that... read more »

divine-human partnership

A farmer’s crop is a provision from God (Deuteronomy 16:15), yet the farmer is required to harvest it. Each child born is a gift from God (Psalm 127:3), yet no pregnancy takes place without a man and woman’s union. Israel’s wars were won by God (Deuteronomy 20:4; Joshua 10:42), but Israel was... read more »

insurance and assurance

The winds were fierce for a while here at my Kentucky home this morning. I love rainstorms—hearing the great sounds of thunder and watching the lightning streak across the sky. The smell of rain is one of my favorites. My husband and I sit out on the front porch like two children, watching with... read more »

Matthew 14:18-20: “Bring them here,” He said. Then He told the people to sit down on the grass. Jesus took the five loaves and two fish, looked up toward heaven, and blessed them. Then, breaking the loaves into pieces, He gave the bread to the disciples, who distributed it to the people. They... read more »

no escape

Last year a couple in South Korea chose to escape the discouragement of unemployment by playing a virtual reality game at a local Internet café. The game provided faux careers and even a virtual child they named Anima. The problem was, while they were playing online, their real, human baby was left... read more »

sensitivity and submission

John 10:10: The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. Jesus’ statement in the above verse is very interesting. On one hand, you have Satan, who comes into your life trying to destroy it and take it from you. On the other... read more »
