In Honor of Mrs. Seibert

With Spring behind us and summer about to hang itself up for another seasonal year, we are now facing Autumn. A time when we remember the smell and purchase of new school supplies. For each student the expectation is a little nerve racking.I remember one such year – a year to remember – a yearContinue reading “In Honor of Mrs. Seibert”

Seasons of change

I have just recently resigned from teaching as an elementary school teacher. And, being of early retirement age, I think of the promise to God that I made so many years ago that if I were blessed with a teaching position, that I would not forget Him financially. I promised I would tithe and giveContinue reading “Seasons of change”

River Rock

Last weekend I attended the 125th Reunion of Maurertown Brethern Church which is my childhood church. So many memories of Sunday School, Christmas performances, memorization of Bible scripture, gathering flowers for the altar, baptisms and revival services.

Dance of Life

The stadium of life Played out each day Brings death to some and life to others Both physical, emotional, and spiritual Each person comes Either presenting a mask so no one can see the true heart

They heard every conversation and felt each attitude. One evening they saw a small group of men enter the garden. They knew one ofContinue reading “A Bird’s Eye View”

One day he set about to look for a bride as the hour had come for his betrothal. He wanted someoneContinue reading “Scarecrow for Jesus”

Under The Hand of Jesus

Several years ago I wrote a book (waiting to be published) entitled Under the Hand of Jesus. Debi of thedailylily.org did the watercolor drawings. In the story you might find yourself identifying with the main character, Leon. There seemed to be a cloud over his life. He couldn’t see past the cloud. One day someoneContinue reading “Under The Hand of Jesus”

PASS THE TORCH FOR JESUS SAKE

After reading about how God lit the fire that burned the sacrifice in the tabernacle and making the connection that is like Jesus lighting the fire within us to really know Him. Like the sacrifice on the alter long ago the priest had to keep the fire going and so do we. Jesus was theContinue reading “PASS THE TORCH FOR JESUS SAKE”
