Spurgeon
Home
It’s always good to come home. We got home from a fun weekend with family and friends last night to the cool air, grilled burgers, fragrance of vanilla, and a tad bit of laundry. Spurgeon’s words bring cheer to my heart this morning, and I cling to the thought of my eternal Refuge [...]
Worthy Lessons from the Battlefield
Today I am on my way home from our last family vacation, and I am excited about getting settled at home, knowing Shepherd’s birth is so near. I have so much that I want to do in the next few weeks; one of them is to write the thoughts about sin in a series [...]
Daily Pension
One of the quickest joy-suckers is worrying about tomorrow. Tomorrow has so many unanswered questions, but why fear them? Today is one day, and there is grace enough. No more, no less.
As I read this today I chuckled at the implications for me personally. “A thirst which we may suffer in [...]

I have had a really difficult time managing myself, home, and family in the last several weeks.

Bearing the Cross
an excerpt from today’s “Morning and Evening” by Spurgeon:
He bears a cross, not that you may escape it, but that you may endure it. Christ exempts you from sin, but not from sorrow. Remember that, and expect to suffer.
But let us comfort ourselves with this thought, that in our case, as in Simon’s, it [...]
The all-encompassing "I will never leave thee…"
Please lift up a prayer for my mother-in-law, Cathy. She had a procedure done yesterday, but something happened that caused her to bleed and have pain, and long story - short, she had surgery last night and is in ICU recovering. Eric drove to be with her, and I will know more later [...]
