prayer

One of our greatest obstacles to prayer is ANSWERED prayer. We assume we know how God will answer - how He will work -- that because He has answered in a specific way in the past -- He will do thus now. We must seek what God *will* do, not just on what He *has* done. If we prayer for what we think God can answer, we limit Him to our own imagination instead of being open to *whatever* HE will do or however HE will answer and lead.

One of the Saddest Days in the History of this Nation

   

January 20, 2009 will be, no doubt, a day marking the beginning of some of the most significant political decisions this country has ever experienced — and, in my opinion, one of the saddest days in the history of this once great nation.  I decided not even to comment on the planned events of the inaugural week — for some are so vile it’s actually shocking to read.  I write this two and a half days before the actually [...]

A lot of water under the bridge…

Literally.

Since my last blog entry to this, there has been a ‘record’ amount of water under the bridge… and the normally green farmland that surrounds our home now appears to be a lake.  One of the captions in the local paper read, “A series of homes and barns cling to strands of dry land in Snohomish on Friday.”    I don’t know if I’d have described our home as clinging to a strand of dry land, but it was certainly sitting in [...]

flood season has been long this year… here we go again…

Just watching the weather reports… working, watching, waiting, working, watching, waiting…  praising the LORD for His *goodness!* to us all.  How great is the love that God has *lavished* on us…

Through the Bible in a year

 

I’m always amazed (but not surprised) that God works in marvelous ways.   Every now and then (and it happens infinitely more often than I’m aware of), God lets us in on His doings — or lets us see His Hand.  I suppose were we to stop and really consider it, we’d see His Hand much more often than we do.  

Well, so last year (I cannot believe this is already 2009!), my husband was impressed that we should read through [...]

signs of the times

Wes and I were browsing articles in our local paper and one article, in particular, really made us shake our heads — a social commentary — sort of a sign of the times regarding what marriage is worth.

   Although she is relieved to be out of the marriage, if she had known how little money she would get, Tomasko said, “I might have stuck with it a little more, I don’t know. Maybe it would’ve made me think a little harder.””

If [...]

Good morning, new year…

[thank you for the personal letters inquiring as to my lack of blogging... i love you and will keep writing, still]

I’m sitting in my husband’s office… it’s early and the sun is shining.  I love this time of year – the sun shines at an angle such that it comes streaming in the south/east windows and casts an apricot/pink glow.  I love that the days are growing longer a minute or so a day.  I love that a whole new year [...]

Thank you for joining me here today, may the Lord bless you and your home.
