Be Kind. Please Rewind.
Last night my husband and I sat down to watch a movie. We picked one from our stash that we had not seen in a while. It was a VHS tape from 1999, almost an antique! I was getting it ready to watch while my husband was getting our supper plated. I put the tape…

That’s Some Good Advice!
In 1 Kings 12 we read about Rehoboam, Solomon’s son. After Solomon had died, he became king of the southern kingdom, after the nation was torn apart because of the sin of Solomon (1 Kings 1:43). Rehoboam was faced with a request when he first became a king. The people wanted their workload lightened and…

Unsinkable
I recently watched part of a program about the building of the Titanic. It was one of the largest ships being built at the time. The part I watched they were discussing how sturdy she was and how she was unsinkable. By law they still had to put life boats on board. One guy said he…

The Ancient of Days
Daniel is an interesting figure in the prophets of God. Our children are taught the lessons of chapters one through six. As adults, we ignore the rest of the book. While it is a hard book to understand, it is filled with tremendous information, especially about the events of the 400 years between Malachi and…

Temptation
Temptation is not something new. It has been around since Genesis chapter 3. It comes in many different forms throughout the rest of the scriptures; anything from fruit to wealth to pretty women to idols to following the wrong crowd. Pretty much anything that falls into these categories is a form of temptation –“For all…

Things That Are Lost
Usually when ordering something, you may be like us, we are waiting on packages that we ordered weeks ago to arrive! I understand there are sometimes delay issues and human error, and I know it may be a petty complaint that the steak knives I ordered two months are still lost and who knows when I’ll…

Changes
If you have ever gone clothes shopping with me you know that it takes me forever to pick the right item for me. I can go into a store and try on just about their entire inventory and walk out with nothing. It drives my husband crazy!!! When I finally find something I like, I keep…

The First Verse
Not a few of our problems in life come from starting at the wrong place. Building on the wrong foundation always gives the wrong results. Our search for the truth must begin in the right place and it is no coincidence that the Bible begins where it does. The truth that is contained in the…

The Parable of the Leaven
Another parable He spoke to them: “The Kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened.” Matthew 13:24 Our Lord delivered two parables about the Kingdom of God. In the parable of the sower, only one-forth of the hearts would bring forth…

Chocolate Molds
I REALLY like chocolate. I like it in any form; cake, pie, brownies, cookies, candy bar, and occasionally straight from the chocolate syrup bottle. I remember when my parents made us homemade chocolate candy. They melted the chocolate and poured it into different molds. The chocolate would then take the shape of whatever it was poured…
