Silly law or The Law?

There were many rules given to the Israelites, but the one in Deuteronomy 25:11-12 cracked me up! I had to definitely read that one in five different translations to make sure I read that correctly. A good laugh is what I needed this morning, and a good laugh I got! ...

It's up to you…Choose wisely.

“God hates cheating in the marketplace; He loves it when business is aboveboard. The stuck-up fall flat on their faces, but down-to-earth people stand firm. The integrity of the honest keeps them on track; the deviousness of crooks brings them to ruin. A thick...

Drink Up

Look at the two pictures. Which would you rather drink from; the stagnant swamp or the clean fountain?  This is how Proverbs 10:31-32 compares the mouth of a good person and a foul mouth person. God’s Word continues to say that “the speech of a good person clears the...

"HOW many are coming to dinner?"

When you see no hope, turn your eyes up to God. I never get tired of the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand. I can see and feel the desperation in the minds and faces of the disciples when Jesus tells them to “Give them something to eat.”, and they only have...

What makes you happy?

Call me crazy, but when I go into a public restroom and, notice that the lid is up (and it is not because a man has been in there), the porcelain is shiny, and the water may have a blue tint, I get a little happy knowing that I’m the first to use the clean toilet....

Proverbs 10:18-21

Proverbs 10:18-21 (ERV) 18 People sometimes lie to hide their hatred, but saying bad things about someone is even more foolish. 19 A person who talks too much gets into trouble. A wise person learns to be quiet. 20 Words from good people are like pure silver, but...

Forgiven

Tears come to my eyes as I read the story of the sinful woman in Luke 7:36-50. Jesus has been invited to have dinner at the home of a Pharisee. While He was there, a woman who was known to be a “woman of the city”, a sinner, came and wept at Jesus’ feet and wiped His...

Be Teachable

Proverbs 10:17, “The road to life is a disciplined life; ignore correction and you’re lost for good.” Chemistry 1 Honors and Algebra 2 Honors are not my eldest son’s best friends right now. They are probably not even on the friend list at all. One of them, as he...
