As the New Year begins, I thought I would start back my series on James two verses at at time as I continue memorizing James 2. James is so full of truth that I need right now. This week I have been rereading the whole book using a bible study method I learned in Bible Study Fellowship. The reminders about my words and my faith […]
(photo credit: My honey) I always wondered what it would have been like to know George Muller in person. Would I have thought he was crazy? That he should have been a bit more practical? If you don’t know already, George Muller was known for running many orphanages in Germany and never asking for a penny. He would pray, and God […]
We are all on a journey and on that journey we need people. People who can help us along that journey. We network which can be a great thing. It helps people, organizations, and companies get things done. Networking connects people with other people. It is valuable in tough situations. It helps people get things accomplished in a more […]
What do I claim to be? I may not claim to be religious, instead I might use other terminology. I might say, ” I am a Christian. Or I am a follower of Christ.” However I label myself, James is talking to all who call God Father and Jesus their Savior. In the last two verses of chapter one, James talks […]
(Picture by my dear husband) One of the biggest challenges as a parent is training your child to listen and then obey what you have asked him to do. Sometimes the child doesn’t obey because he doesn’t listen. Another child doesn’t obey because she forgot what you said as soon as she turned around.

Two things about the book of James are that it gets under my skin and it is timely. Which is why I am still stuck on verse 20 and just adding verse 21 today. The verses for this week are James 1:20, 21. “Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. So get rid of all the evil […]
My Facebook feed the past few weeks has been full of new stories and commentary on the shooting in South Carolina and now the Supreme Court legalizing same sex marriage. People are discussing racism and marriage. Some are doing it well. Some are doing it not so well. These are issues that need to be discussed. As followers of […]
I can’t believe it has been a month since I last posted about the verses in James I am memorizing. The last month has flown by and somehow I was sidetracked from working on memorizing James 1. On a positive note, my bible study group has been studying Beth Moore’s bible study on James, and today is our last day. […]
What do you desire? Cain desired God’s acceptance but his sacrifice was rejected. This made Cain angry. God confronted Cain about his anger and warned him that sin was crouching at his door. He must subdue it or it would become his master. Instead of listening to God’s wisdom, Cain killed his brother. Somehow he thought that would give […]
Even though some seasons are harder than others, each season has its challenges. The challenge may be children who are sick or unruly. It could even be conflict at work or health problems. On the other hand, your challenge could be too much time on your hands or being too busy. Our season is full of finishing school and […]
