Have you ever noticed that you can’t have a torch of Darkness? Torches are always light.

During that time, I did some studies on the Bible about the… Read More Day 222- Thankful for clouds (photos)
A few of days ago thunder storms were predicted for our area.

I stood under the overhang just outside the back door as the thunder got closer… Read More Day 207- (Photos & video) Thankful for protection from and blessings of the storm
The room was round, dark, and silent. Indistinguishable faces peered blankly into the darkness all around the huge, round conference table that almost completely filled the room.

Today was one of those days where a lot of random things happened. For example, the bad news is that my ID expired. The good news is that I was able to get it renewed. The bad news is the medical office called while I was in the middle of the grocery store. The good… Read More Day 112 – Thankful for focus and light
If you read my post on Tuesday, you know that our region got enough snow for another snow day. Actually, the schools in our region had two snow days this week! Anyway, I love the snow! It is so beautiful, and each flake is an amazing work of art! But unfortunately, I’m not a fan… Read More Day 69 – Thankful for sunshine on a cold day and God’s love in hard times (photos)
Hi, and welcome to Worship with me! This past month I’ve been trying to obey God in His call to write something I’m thankful to Him for every day.

Jesus wants His children to effect change in our world for the better.  Yesterday I asked you for ideas on how to do that. Today, I’d like to explore this a bit more. But first I’d like to clarify the difference between certain vocabulary of Scripture and the vocabulary that we commonly hear: In the common… Read More Change the World, Part 2
What is your focus when you look at this photo? The murky-looking waters? The gray clouds? The darkness of the tree line? The fence? Or are your eyes drawn first and foremost to the light and the colors, which are produced because of the reflection of the light off the clouds? In life, also, we… Read More It’s a Choice to Rejoice!
