I haven't been to the zoo lately, but searching the www for photos has given me the nudge I need. We are so blessed in St. Louis to be able to visit our zoo without charge. A free zoo - can you imagine. We are supposed to have gorgeous weather the next few days, maybe its time for a visit to see some amazing critters. So, start thinking . . . you know we will want to know your favorites at the end. Oh btw, if you have any great zoo photos send them to me and I will add them to Monday's post.... Read Full Story

Today we are going to look at Joshua chapter 21. Every group had received their allotment of land with the exception of the Levites. In Numbers chapter 35 you can read more about God's command to Moses concerning the cities to be given to the Levites, and His command for the cities of refuge.   I would like to focus on Joshua 21:43-45: So the LORD gave Israel all the land he had sworn to give their forefathers, and they took possession of it and settled there. The LORD gave them rest on every...

I continue to ponder the word - Truth! The more I continue to research current world views concerning truth, the more disheartened I become.   Look at this definition of truth. Wow! Wouldn't it be nice if all we had to do was be certain of an individual's sincerity to know whether or not they were truthful. Sincerity is not a foundation for truth. I apologize for yet another YouTube video, but I think this one really sums up contemporary thinking on the definition of truth . . . "absolute ... Read Full Story

How would you answer the questions?Who is Jesus?How does that opinion affect my life? Are you prepared to give an answer? But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. 1 Peter 3:13(NIV) So do not be ashamed to testify about our Lord, or ashamed of me his prisoner . . . who has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we hav...

Small Appliances - I feel like a Sears salesperson! LOL I have realized that there are several of these items that are very important in my life. The kinds of things that make for a very bad day if they fail to work or we have a power failure. The kinds of things that make me glad to live in the present and not a hundred years ago. Start thinking! You know you love your small appliances! 5. Crock Pot - I love my crock pot! I placed it 5th only because I probably could use the oven or a po... Read Full Story

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1 But I will sing of your strength, in the morning I will sing of your love; for you are my fortress, my refuge in times of trouble. Psalm 59:16I find it interesting that so many people think of God as being portrayed as an angry judge in the Old Testament. Scripture tells us in Hebrew 13:8 that: He (Jesus Christ) is the same yesterday, today, and forever. John 1:1 reads: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was ... Read Full Story

Having participated in the first half of The Truth Project, and anticipating Dr. Carl Werner's presentation this evening, at Christ Memorial Lutheran Church in St. Louis: Evolution: The Grand Experiment; I have spent some time thinking about the word truth. Telling the truth has always been very important to me. I have always felt that it is easier to make wise decisions if the basis for them is truth. It took me a very long time to understand that many people today look at truth as relative... Read Full Story
