Genesis 8:22 “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease” I picked most of our delicious and sweet donut peaches a couple of days ago. Sometimes they are ready in late December, sometimes in January but always in Summer. The tree mightContinue reading “Seasons”

There must be more
Revelation 21:4 Consider the intelligence of humans. Consider the dreams and imagination we have. Consider the achievements and accomplishments throughout history. Consider the search for meaning and purpose we all have. Consider the complexity of our emotions and the desire to love and be loved. Consider our dismay and disappointment at illness, death and destruction.Continue reading “There must be more”
In the dark
Psalm 23:4 Let’s face it – life can get pretty dark sometimes. It can feel like we are in a hole with no way out.

Feeling far from God
2 Chronicles 7:14 There may be times in our life where we feel we are far from God. Perhaps this is because we have ignored him, turned away from him or simply not believed in him. Then some hardship or crisis comes along and we call out to him to save us and at leastContinue reading “Feeling far from God”
More than words
“Actions speak louder than words.” None of us are impressed when we are promised something and it never happens. None of us are happy when we are told we are important or valued but are treated like second class citizens. None of us like being told we are loved but never get to feel theContinue reading “More than words”
