The Point – Joy and Sorrow
Life is full of contradictions, isn’t it? This week has been one where I have experienced joy as well as sorrow. So often that is how life works. We are up one minute and down the next; happy one moment and sad the next.Earlier this week, the Lord sent two...
The Point – The Pattern That I Will Show You
When I was a girl my mother made all of our clothes by hand. She was, and still is, a talented seamstress. My clothes rivaled and surpassed any store bought clothes you could find AND I always had an original—a couture piece. My Tuesday morning Bible study group is...
A Prayer that Works
I had to share with you what I read this morning that impacted me in a huge way. I was in the gym at 6am working hard on the crosstrainer and reading my latest issue of Citizen (http://www.citizenmagazine.com/) magazine. In this issue (January 2008) there is a book...
The Point – A Muzzle For My Mouth

The Point – Sabbath Rest
Last week I completed “Having a Mary Heart in a Martha World” by Joanna Weaver. It took me many weeks to read it because I never seemed to have enough time to settle down and truly focus on it. Toward the end of the book, however, I got my spiritual toes stepped...
The Point – The Extraordinary Becomes Ordinary
Scenes from The Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem The miracle of Christmas. What does that really mean? Yes, the virgin birth was miraculous, but I think there is a miracle that is even greater that is gift wrapped with the bows of Christmas. Have you ever stopped...
Tellin’ On Satan to God
Lord Jesus,I hope you don't mind if I rant and rave a few minutes and tell on Satan. I get so stinkin' tired of him inserting his nosey nose into the lives of my friends and family that I just want to punch him. The gall of him to try to mess up the lives of people...
