The Pretty Box

It was a bookcase, shoe holder something to put in an empty space. It had a cover, drawers, and numerous uses to discover. It was a box nothing more, used for packing, holding, stacking nothing unorthodox, but it was a pretty box. I do this thing with boxes where, rather than throw them, out I… Continue reading The Pretty Box

It is well…

There is an old hymn which says "It is well with my soul". In the past days, I've spent some time reflecting on this phrase. Things don't always go the way we plan, sometimes they don't go at all. However, if we believe what the word says in Jeremiah 29:11, then we must also believe… Continue reading It is well…

I recently watched a series where, in one of the episodes, a character was far away from his wife, thus he wrote to her daily.

Lead the Way

We often see movies or read books with stories of the medieval times where kings led their armies into war. This was done as a sign of bravery. A courageous king was considered a man of respect and honor. I think these are well worth it for one who doesn't just sit on a throne… Continue reading Lead the Way

The Good Wine

In John 2 we find the passage where Jesus turned the water into wine. The MC’s (master of ceremonies) words got me thinking about life. It was customary to serve the best wine first. In this case, the water-turned-wine by Jesus, which was served last, was the best. Sometimes the first part of our day,… Continue reading The Good Wine
