Hand in Hand

Since you are all set apart by God, made holy and dearly loved Colossians 3:12a I've been chewing over these words since Monday. Made holy. Dearly loved. Holy and beloved. I started thinking about how they work together. I know I am loved by God. I know I am precious in His sight, engraved on His …

Extravagant

I am not a huge opera fan but I do enjoy a good musical. There’s something about beautiful words put to the perfect music that delights me. Isn’t it true that whatever we forget the lyrics of our favourite songs are as fresh as the day we first sang them? Isn’t it true that we …

Calves are Cute

They say anyone who does not learn from History is doomed to repeat it. It sometimes seems that none of us learn from our past and if you spend any time studying the Old Testament you will soon see that Israel constantly repeated the same mistakes. 28 The king sought out advice and then cast two …

Actions Speak Louder than Words

I was reading a blog last night, an excellent discussion on the concept of the Trinity looking at ways we try to explain it and the problems that arise from that explanation when we try to capture God in human understanding. There was a quote at the end that I just loved. Lest you become …

Shoulda Known Better

Numbers is a complicated book, full of numbers (of course) and instructions about the camp, the trumpets, how to set out, when to set out and more. It also has complaining - just like the other 3 books - the Israelites forgetting how awesome God is and what He has done and griping about something …

We Are In This Together

There were 25 emails in my inbox when I got here this am. Some were easily dealt with and deleted but as I find more and more blogs that touch me I get more and more posts. Today I read three at least that needed to be shared and I reblogged two of them. I …

Reasonable and Essential?

I realise I haven't shared my memory verses from last week and this but it never seemed the right day. Today, however, is the right day and I'm going to talk a bit about last week's verse. Confused? I hope you won't stay that way. The two verses are actually Romans 12:1-2 verse 1 last …

The Depths of Love

It has been one of those mornings. It's a holiday here and so we slept in a while. I had my devotional time and heard from my Father in lots of ways. Got dressed and then entered a spiral of confusion. I have a routine for my mornings that ends with pressing 'publish' on my blog. …

It’s in the Question

If I was speaking this blog we'd be a non-starter cos I have no voice. Something between my lungs and lips has seized up reducing me to a whisper or a croaky bass at best. Fortunately, my fingers haven't been affected. I'm in the midst of deciding whether I should bother the doctor with my …

Equally Favourite

I pray that everyone I speak to would be, in their own unique way, my favorite… just as they are Yours.  Playing Favourites by Beejai @ The River Walk blog I came downstairs with a strip of paper with 4 possible blog topics from my quiet time. Then I read email and finally read the …
