Thank You!   Thank You not only for the physical freedom of this land, but also for preappointing our time and the boundary of our dwelling, so we should seek You, [1] and celebrate this amazing country.   Holy, holy, holy, LORD, You alone deserve glory, honor, and power, but above all, our worship. [2]   LORD, when I think about the history of A m e r i c a , it wasn’t just deciding to break from Great Britain and signing our Declaration of Independence. It was these heroic men backing up that decision with action, a willingness to die to make men free, which became the Battle Hymn of OUR Republic . [3] And why? Because it was exactly what the Lord Jesus Christ did for us. [4]   I know You, O God, placed that determination within the hearts of each founding father, each officer, and soldier who fought in t...

Greetings to all who read my blog. You are very special to me, like family far away, but very close to my heart. I am so excited to share this news with you. My very first novel, Archangels - Beginnings , has been published on Amazon, and it is now live. Archangels – Beginnings is a Biblical Fiction, somewhat speculative, but true to God’s Word. It’s an action-packed adventure from the creation of Heaven and angels to Lucifer developing pride, as seen from the Archangel Michael’s point of view. It’s for Young Adults and the Young at heart. Archangels - Beginnings is Book One in a series, and currently I am working on Book Two. I hope you will check it out and maybe decide to purchase a copy for yourself or as a Christmas gift.

https://www.gettyimages.com/photos/unveiling-ceremony Do you ever watch makeover shows? You know, the ones like Extreme Makeover that changed the person’s appearance and made them beautiful. Or maybe you enjoy programs that transform houses or apartments. Still, it’s possible you don’t care about those at all. But I’ll bet you’ve seen Instagram or Facebook videos with a pregnant couple discovering their baby’s gender. And with any of these, what do we breathlessly wait for at the end? Right! The Big Reveal .   A few weeks ago, I was writing a lesson for our Sunday School Class, and my study led me to First Peter. I can’t remember how I got there, other than one Scripture must have cross-referenced 1 Peter 1:5: “who are KEPT by the power of God through faith for salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”   “…Revealed in the last time…” made me think of all those “revealing” shows. But this verse started in the middle of Peter’s sentence. So, I had to bac...

      www.sewingdivine.com Jealousy, like poison, ruled their hearts. Although these chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things He did and heard the joyful squeals of children crying out, “Hosanna to the Son of David,” the blackness in their souls kept them from believing. Envy mixed with rage hurled words like daggers. “We must kill this heretic,” they said.   Satan stood in their midst, snickering. His plan to destroy the Son of God was nearing consummation. Slaying the Son would expel the Almighty, and Satan would be freed from his temporary prison to fully rule earth, its inhabitants, and soon, heaven.   Passover was at hand, and Satan saw his chance when Judas pocketed donated coins. Entering this disciple, he compelled him to strike a deal with the chief priests. For thirty pieces of silver, Judas would betray his Messiah.   Madness tormented as he led the soldiers to Jesus and identified the Holy One with a kiss. Throughout ...

openclipart.org We just returned from a quick, two-day trip to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I say quick, but in reality, it was an eight-hour drive each way. We were there for my granddaughter’s ballet audition, yet this would not have been possible without technological advancements that allow automobiles to travel at speeds of 70 miles per hour and more. Cars with all the creature comforts like soft seats, heat or AC, music, GPS direction, etc., make the eight hours quite enjoyable.   Returning home, I had time to study for my weekly Bible study, and the lesson book mentioned a Deuteronomy 8 cross-reference. Reading the chapter, I witnessed God using Moses as His mouthpiece to speak to the Israelites at the end of their forty-year wilderness journey—right before they entered the Promised Land.   Reading about this dry, barren wilderness with no water or food for miles got me thinking. How amazing it is to travel 500 miles in eight hours, whereas it would have taken the ...
