Thanksgiving – A Poem

Today is Thanksgiving Day! It makes me think about how perfect Thankful Thursday is as a theme day. I’ve been looking back over the poems I’ve written for Thankful Thursday this year, and noticing on my stats page that they are getting hits from web...

Pastor Dave and My Tuesday Three

I am so excited about our new pastor at my church, Pr. Dave Sorensen. I’ve only known him for a short time, but I already feel like he’s going to be a great pastor to our congregation, and to me, for quite some time to...

Psalm 45 – Christ the King Is Victorious

Since it is Christ the King Sunday, I thought it would be appropriate to post a Psalm that speaks of Christ as King over all. My favorite is Psalm 2, but I’ve already posted it before. So I did a search on Biblegateway.com to see...

For today’s Psalm I asked my husband to randomly pick a number between 29 and 150 (since I’ve already posted the first 28 Psalms). He picked 115. I searched my blog to see if I had posted it before and was surprised that I had...

Overcoming – A Poem

Synonyms are words that have the same or similar meaning as another word. Antonyms are words that are opposite in meaning to other words. I am thankful for antonyms because they are proof that in spite of all the evil in the world there is...
