Advent and the Second Coming

The season of Advent is about anticipating our celebration of the coming of Christ into the world. But it is also about anticipating His second coming into the world at the end of time. For that reason, our pastor gave a sermon yesterday titled “End...

Psalm 115 – To God Belongs the Glory

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...

Psalm 17 – God’s Right Hand

I’m continuing on with the next Psalm in order that I haven’t previously posted, and that is Psalm 17, the first 9 verses of which I’ve posted here. As first blush, the Psalmist, in this case King David, seems a bit arrogant in calling himself...

My favorite of all the apostles is John, “the disciple whom Jesus loved.” I love his Gospel, the three epistles that he wrote, and Revelation. One of our scripture readings in church on Sunday was from 1 John 4:7-21. There are a couple of things I...

Satisfied – A Poem

Mick Jagger sang “I can’t get no satisfaction.” What a sad way to live, but many people do live like that. Some people, no matter how much they have, are never satisfied and always strive for more. I much prefer Johnny Cash’s “A Satisfied Mind,”  knowing that...
