Music Monday Extra – The Generous Mr. Lovewell

I thought I would share just one more song from MercyMe’s CD The Generous Mr. Lovewell. It’s the title song and is a great up-beat song that is bound to make you feel good. This song always reminds me of both my husband and my...

The Veil Was Torn!

MercyMe is coming to Portland next Sunday, and I am hoping to go, so I’ve been listening to their most recent CD in the car this past week. It’s called The Generous Mr. Lovewell. I’ve written several posts about some of the songs on this...

Psalm 150 – Praise the Lord

The title of this post really says it all; it completely sums up Psalm 150. I love how this final Psalm in this awesome book of the Bible sums up the entire book as well. Though there have been laments and complaints to God throughout...

What Should We Teach Our Kids?

Last Thursday was a snow day in our school district. There wasn’t much snow, mind you, but it doesn’t take much to close Portland, Oregon area schools. But then on Friday the weather was better so school was back open. My son’s school operates on...

Sesame Garlic Toast for Recipe Friday

There are probably as many recipes for garlic toast as there are for French bread. We’ve tried many of them. But our favorite garlic toast is what I call Sesame Garlic Toast. This is one of my family’s favorite side dishes. It is also one...

Johnny Cash recorded a song, originally written by Nick Cave, called “The Mercy Seat.” It is a powerful song about a man on death row. There is no indication of what his crime is or what evidence there was against him. Throughout the song he repeatedly...

When Faith Is About Me

The other day I was perusing my prayer journal and came across an entry that I had previously marked with a post-it note as something that would make a good blog entry some day. I reread the entry, but decided it wasn’t quite ready for...

Music Monday Extra – I’ll Wait for You

This weekend I was listening to my iPod on a general shuffle of all the songs, instead of just my Christian playlist. The song “I’ll Wait for You” by Bruce Springsteen came on. I love this song. It is such a wonderful picture of what...

Psalm 5 – A Prayer

Several years ago I bought a book called The Psalms for Prayer, compiled by T.M. Moore. It includes a great introduction about using the Psalms as part of your prayer life. The bulk of the book is the entire Psalms in the New King James Version....
