MORE REPAIRS

Almost twenty ago I entered the hospital with “chest pains”.  Eleven days later, because of multiplied complications, I came home.  The old “ticker” had problems because the arteries around it were “clogged”.  There was need for a quadruple bypass.  Such problems, or their solutions, are quite common these days. Joining the “zipper club” is noContinue reading “MORE REPAIRS”

HARVESTING

Lying on the table in the surgical room, an assistant to the surgical doctor introduced herself.  I do not recall all that was said, I was half out of it from medication. However, I do remember these words: “I am the harvester.  It describes my responsibilities.  My job is to harvest some veins for Dr.Continue reading “HARVESTING”

TO WHOM SHALL WE GO

Those words appear in John 6:68.  The context makes them stand out significantly, for Jesus had been attracting crowds who were listening to each word that He spoke, with many giving indication that they were so captivated that it was their intention of becoming one of His disciples. We are accustomed to people giving aContinue reading “TO WHOM SHALL WE GO”

For He has founded it upon the seas and established itContinue reading “PSALM 24”

WISDOM

In the Book of Wisdom, Proverbs, the “Wise man” places statement after statement indicative of the wisdom that originates from the heart of God. 2:1 “My son, if you will receive my wordsContinue reading “WISDOM”

A RIGHTEOUS WOMAN

The memory of the righteous is blessed, But the name of the wicked will rot. Proverbs 10:7 Patsy and I were having lunch one day with a friend named Barbara when the principle of the verse Proverbs 10:7 began to touch my heart. “The memory of the righteous is blessed.” While we were eating with her, IContinue reading “A RIGHTEOUS WOMAN”

OUR FATHER

…Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Matthew 6:9 Reflecting on “The Lord’s Prayer” in Matthew 6, I found myself deeply engrossed on the opening thought, “Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be your name.” Identification was my initial thought. Here I am approaching the creator of the universe, the sustainer of the universe,Continue reading “OUR FATHER”

AGING

Living and working daily in a senior community allows for unlimited opportunities to observe this group of people, of which we form a part. While we have our problems and limitations, there are some very positive traits for which we excitedly plead guilty. The majority of people in these communities are quite positive in theirContinue reading “AGING”
