Self-control – In me I trust

It is about 2 am in the wee hours of the morning. I finally finished reading the first five books of the Bible and what a revelation it was. I think the most resounding revelation, for me, was that the God of the Old Testament, the God that is criticized for initiating so much violence against … Continue reading Self-control – In me I trust →

December Gardens

Beautiful flowers in December among bare trees as those that are alive in Christ can live among those dead in their sin. We are in the world, but we are not of this world. If you give people the real Jesus and not some commercialized, homogenized version, then there is no greater gift, because He … Continue reading December Gardens →

Hello! Thank you. I sure do appreciate you stopping by. I hope that you will look around, read, reflect, enjoy. My husband and I have been doing some traveling, so we’ve taken quite a few pictures, some we have yet to review.

We live in the great State of Texas.

As you will see, I love to take pictures. I love to write. I love to share the Word and some of what the Lord has revealed to me. I also love the music and ministry of the late great Rich Mullins. My desire is to blog a bit more regularly, or as time allows, so I hope you will come back and visit.

If you have questions, comments and such you can post them here. Thank you for reading.

“I think I would rather live on the verge of falling and let my security be in the all-sufficiency of the grace of God than to live in some pietistic illusion of moral excellence. Not that I don’t want to be morally excellent but my faith isn’t in the idea that I’m more moral than anybody else. My faith is in the idea that God and His love are greater than whatever sins any of us commit.”

Rich Mullins

“Christianity is not about building an absolutely secure little niche in the world where you can live with your perfect little wife and your perfect little children in your beautiful little house where you have no gays or minority groups anywhere near you. Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.”

Micah 6:1-8 Hear now what the Lord says:

“Arise, plead your case before the mountains, And let the hills hear your voice. Hear, O you mountains, the Lord’s complaint, And you strong foundations of the earth; For the Lord has a complaint against His people, And He will contend with Israel.

“O My people, what have I done to you? And how have I wearied you?

Testify against Me. For I brought you up from the land of Egypt, I redeemed you from the house of bondage; And I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam. O My people, remember now What Balak king of Moab counseled, And what Balaam the son of Beor answered him, From Acacia Grove to Gilgal, That you may know the righteousness of the Lord.”

With what shall I come before the Lord, And bow myself before the High God? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, With calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, Ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
