Be Ready
On one particular Friday I was headed home to get ready for a party we were attending, and then I thought about a Church Family that was at Holy Family. I really need to stop and see them. It won’t take that long! I pull into the parking lot and go inside. I stop at the front counter which everyone has to do because of Covid. At Providence, if you are Clergy and can prove it, then you don’t count…
FOLLOWING CHRIST’S EXAMPLE
Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. “Sir,” they said, “we would like to see Jesus.” Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus. Jesus replied, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it…
Pastoral Letter to the Church – September 22,2022
Dear Church, Your church board has asked me to share with you concerning their new role as leaders, which they will readily admit is taking some time and effort to adjust to as well. Their PURPOSE and MISSION is the same, “To boldly proclaim the transforming love of Christ through acts of mercy, grace, and unconditional love.” They are ‘Disciples of Jesus empowered by the Holy Spirit living out His Word and set apart for Him’. Their vision is to…
The Bible
To help me in this devotional I had to get my mom’s Bible out. It’s never too far away. This Bible was given to my mom in 1952. I have 2 pictures in the Bible. Both pictures are Black and white. One is of Mom with this Bible. The other one is of Dad and Mom, and they are both Christians. It’s a big deal to have this picture. It was always supposed to be my Bible, but my oldest…

Deep Waters
Isaiah 43:2, NLT 2 When you go through deep waters, I will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. This scripture can be interpreted in so many different ways. There is so much comfort in each of these words. There is a lot of fear, feeling overwhelmed, lost, and anxiety when thinking…
Hope in Jeremiah
I have been stuck in my Bible reading. The longer I am stuck the more questions I have. I have been reading in Jeremiah. He is called the “weeping prophet” because he literally wept over Judah. Jeremiah stays faithful to God through 40 years and 5 kings. The five kings were Josiah, Jehoahaz, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachin, and Zedekiah. Jeremiah learned first-hand from Josiah who tried to reinstate the old laws of Israel. God said that Josiah was a good king. Jeremiah’s…
How To Establish a Spiritual BASE for Your Life
Believe Admit Switch Express Believe God made you to love you and live for His purposes. “Everything got started in God and finds its purpose in Him” “Long before God laid down earth’s foundations, he had us in mind, and settled on us as the focus of His love.” 2 Cor 5:5, Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. …
SFNAZ Devotional – 8/11/22
He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. Psalm 91:4 One of Hannah’s chickens hatched some babies this week and watching the babies scurry under her wings for comfort and warmth is such a cool thing to watch. Without her to protect them their little lives would be short. Each day they seem to come out from under her wings and explore a little more.…

IN WITH THE NEW-OUT WITH THE OLD, MAYBE?
You know how it is when things in the house start breaking. It would be easier if each of us could get new appliances every 5 years. I say 5 years because you are lucky if your small appliances last that long. The last toaster I bought was a cheapie one from Walmart. I think I paid $5. When I bought the last toaster oven I put my $5 toaster away, just in case. Sure enough, the toaster oven quit…
