In confidence and trust you have never failed me when I have come to you in need. Things often appear against us, but we must remember your work is not complete.  I cannot bring good out of evil for you or me in the end, but you Lord can and you do. This must be left up to you Lord. Not my will but yours. You Lord, find the specific blessings for each of us. I ask that you surround and place your hand on those facing sadness or troubles. Please help them find a blessing in the darkness surrounding them. Do not let them bear this alone. Provide faith and comfort as they endure the days ahead. Guide each of us Lord to make the best of our home to be a sanctuary worthy of your love and abide in us each day and through the night.  May we provide refuge and strength to those in need.  Allow us

It has slipped into darkness with a cold wind out of the north.  Good food and great company made the day seem fuller.  Terry cooked up the black eyed peas and I made black bean meatballs and mashed potatoes.  It was delicious with cold slaw and cornbread! As evening darkens we pray we all learn to trust what we cannot see.  Give us light in this evening where shadows have crept in during the day.  May God’s love stream light around them and chase them away. 2023 has ended and for some, this year, challenged with illness, fears, pain and death, tears were shed with losses and trials. In the trials faced it is impossible to see your love Father. Give us faith not to doubt. Give us hope that you will see us through.  Give us your assurance that all is working in our best interest.  Explode this year with

This past week’s journey took us to the Tone Guitar Shop in Southlake. I have been in there a half dozen times, looking or with someone buying a guitar.  It was to be an expedition as I decided to trade in two of my guitars for one newer something. This is the only place to go. Everyone there is one of the best I have worked with.  I laughed over this photo…I had them all trying to find my guitars for values and they had each picked them up and played them and truly felt the beauty of them….and to work they went.   The photo was my second trip of three to accomplish this.  I have an injured arm, my right arm is out of commission until I go through Physical therapy. Richard, the far left on the photo has worked with us many times…when I arrived the second day, he played several guitars for me,

We all have seen happy moments, experiencing joy and laughter, and we all have seen pain, sorrow and even death, losing a loved one.  Our true trust and belief in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, provides us with His unfailing love, His unending mercy and His forgiveness when we repent and rest in Him.  If I was painting ‘this year’ I would tie this all into layers of color and overlays of the “ best and worst”  all meshing and blending to create this “2023 painting”, keeping part of the realism of events and still loosing them to the abstract thoughts that remain.  In Repentance and Rest… In Quietness and

Celebrate Each Day The past month has brought monumental changes in our lives... especially mine. I lost my closest family member that was 94 years old.  Our days are determined by the Lord, and none of us expected her to live this long and most of the 94 years in good health.  She has had several close calls with death in the last half of her life but rallied through everything.    Her hands were that of a healer... they held us all as babies, as young children, a church friend, a kind neighbor, a hungry teen, our marriages, our babies (grandchildren and great grandchildren), our own hands through brutal times in life... She spent 94 1/2 years wal
