"My God and I go in the field together; We walk and talk as good friends should and do; We clasp our hands, our voices ring with laughter; My God and I walk through the meadow's hue." This is the chorus to the hymn "My God and I." We would sing this at church camp... Continue Reading →

I cannot even imagine how the children of Israel felt as they approached the Red Sea. Here was this huge body of water and right behind them was the army of Pharaoh! They cried out to God and Moses that they would have been better off in Egypt in slavery. We like to think that... Continue Reading →

Moses was human. This is made evident throughout his life but one place that has always spoken to me is his encounter with God at the burning bush. As humans we are always wanting the "sign." We want God to show himself. Here God displays his power in a burning bush that doesn't burn up.... Continue Reading →

This week for spring break we went to Branson. This afternoon we were privileged to see the production of "Moses." Truly enjoyed it on many levels. Right from the very beginning of Moses's life you see faith in action. I was once again reminded of the faith of his mother Jochebed. First, she had to hide... Continue Reading →

Sometimes the smallest moment can remain with us for a lifetime. I will never forget one day sitting by my grandmother when I was young. She was holding my hand and just touching and looking at it. She said, "Your hands are so smooth and you don't have marks like my old wrinkly hands." Why... Continue Reading →

When I was a sophomore at Bloomington High School, we had to study Julius Caesar. I'm sure many of you did. I was dreading it! But, I didn't know that  Mr. Baumgarten could change all that. I will never forget the Ides of March because of my high school English teacher who made it all... Continue Reading →

Fanny Crosby is the author of "Blessed Assurance."  We sang this song many times in church. I love the chorus, "This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long. This is my story, this is my song, Praising my Savior all the day long." What's your story? The last... Continue Reading →

I'd like to start a new day. It seems everyone else has one. Let's call it National Christian Woman Day. I am using Proverbs 31 from the Message. I'd like to give a shout out to the women whose value is more than diamonds. She's the kind of woman her husband can trust. She's not... Continue Reading →

In Psalm 63, David paints a vivid word picture of how he longs for God. "...earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is not water." Many of us have not experienced what it's like to be in a desert over... Continue Reading →

Yesterday, because of the storms we were without electricity for 12 hours. You soon realize how dependent you are without it. I couldn't have my coffee, watch the morning news, dry my hair, cook, see to put my make-up on (HELP!!), wash, and on and on... My life was out of whack. My routine was... Continue Reading →
