  • Are These Dark and Difficult Paths the Lord’s?

    Psalm 25:10:  All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.   When I read this verse, I am struck by its beauty.  “All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness.”  Yes, please.  My small, simple soul conjures images of moonlit…

  • She Walked with God

    Genesis 5:24:  Enoch walked with God and disappeared because God took him (CEB).  The Bible speaks often of walking with God.  In the Bible, a person’s “walk” was used as a way to describe how that person “did life.”  Or we might say it was a metaphor for how they conducted themselves.   So walking…

  • Just Two Little Fish

    Just Two Little Fish

    I come into the presence of my Father, empty-handed, basking in His grace and His greatness. There is nothing more I must do to earn His affection, but like the daughter I am I want to please my Heavenly Daddy.  Yet, I come empty-handed.  I am a small, simple soul—perhaps too small.  Words spoken to…
