Your Life… Divinely Woven
from pixabay - Persian Rug Apart from the Scriptures, this poem below "The Divine Weaver", has been an anchor to my life for the past 20 years.

Somber Reflections… My Crazy = His Perfect
No more life Death has come. His visit was swift. His effect was instant. And Tim's Dad, the man I called 'Dad' for 27 years was gone forever.

Christmas, Transitions, and Shifting Sands

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen… Continue reading The Spiral

But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side,but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may… Continue reading Seize the Day… Redeem the Time – for Parliament Hill Tours
Streams In The Desert
Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers (streams) in the desert. (Is. 43: 18,19) Mixed Blessings This past week has been another roller coaster ride.

My Way Is Hidden…
Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God”? Have you not known? Have you not heard?
