The temple
This morning’s devotions took me to Exodus 25-28. The detailed building of the tabernacle takes up many chapters, and no small bit is ignored. All the way from the outside to the inner courts has instructions from God. He knows what He wants constructed, and the Israelites will have the presence of God living with…

Hope Endures…
Our church has been on a 40 day fast. We have 9 days to go. At times it seems like a uphill climb, and for me personally, there have been many a “sniff” at the Nutella jar. Many conversations with other church members are about food, and recipes that are “Daniel fast” friendly. On the…

Start the Conversation…
Prayer. What does that look like? For many of us it is a ritualistic poem that we say before meals, or when we go to church. There is an emptiness to this ritual, but there doesn’t seem to be anything else to say. Other times, we call out to God, “Help me, I can’t do…

Over the years there have been pieces broken off, and splinters that penetrated the porcelain surface. There are cracks and embedded dirt. Most of the pots have temporary glue holding them together, and…

“Be Still, and Know”
About a month ago I asked Jesus what this verse meant, and how it applies to my life. “Be still, and know that I am God” Psalm 46:10a Today I felt that I needed to share what He told me…I hope that this also can help someone else… “Dear Child – first of all, I…

“Just Rest”
These last few weeks I have been hearing from women…women that are exhausted, angry and burned out. I know what that feels like. It’s a huge burden to bear, and for so many there doesn’t seem to be an answer. It’s even too tiring to pursue Jesus and His peace. Sitting in church, instead of…
