Daily encouragement for Christians
From the archives: Last night two of my grandsons decided they wanted to sleep outside on the trampoline. It is spring but we live in the north and the temperature was going back to the low forties. It was their first try at spending the night in the great outdoors. They are seven and nine […]
Yesterday was Father’s Day. I saw many posts of emptiness from those who miss their father because he is no longer here. If yesterday left you feeling a bit lost I pray this message from the archives will refresh your spirit. “How happy are those who live in your house; they never cease to praise […]
I lived through a time when the chaos and negativity surrounding my world had become so strong I was just going through the motions, trying not to let Satan steal my inner peace. I was running on a hectic schedule already when my husband burst through the door announcing he had found a newborn kitten […]
A chime of angels hangs from my ceiling at the entrance to my kitchen, which has an angel theme throughout.

Several years ago, when my husband and I bought our business, I was greatly disturbed by the business address and decided to bring it before the postmaster in an effort to change it. The address was 666 S. Center St. It crawled up under […]
Some versions of the Bible use the word contentious a few times, mostly in Proverbs. “It is better to dwell in a desert land than with a contentious and troublesome woman.” Proverbs 21:19 AMP “A constant dripping on a day of steady rain and a contentious (quarrelsome) woman are alike.” Proverbs 27:15 AMP Have you […]
