Ah, life is so full of choices. Sometimes we choose wisely. Sometimes not so wisely---like the little boy whose older brother talked into letting him crack some eggs on his head. The two of them were getting ready to boil some eggs so they could decorate them for Easter when the older brother

If you have not realized it yet, over time you are going to forget some things. I think of the two older men that were playing golf. One had trouble seeing and other had trouble remembering. The one with a seeing problem said to the other, "Now, watch my ball, for I can’t see where it

I see a sea of blue,
It reminds me of you.
I cry, I weep,
I cannot sleep.
I am here and you are there,
Knowing that you just don’t care.
My pain inside I just can’t bare.
Knowing that you just don’t care.
I hear a song, and I cry.
I can’t believe you said “good-bye.”
I feel hurt.
I feel

Backsliding:
Dear Lord! accept a sinful heart,
Which of itself complains,
And mourns, with much and frequent smart,
The evil it contains.
There fiery seeds of anger lurk,
Which often hurt my frame;
And wait but for the tempter’s work,
To fan them to a flame.
Legality holds out a bribe

I was at the service for Mary Ellen’s father this past Monday. There was grief. There were tears. But I sensed God’s presence there, as well. Through the grief, when the tears were flowing, He was right there, crying right along with the family and friends, feeling the pain and loss every bit as

SACRIFICIAL LOVE:
(Poem by Ruth Bell Graham)
Had I been Joseph’s mother
I’d have prayed
protection from his brothers
"God, keep him safe.
He is so young,
so different from
the others."
Mercifully,
she never knew
there would be slavery
and prison too.
Had I been Moses’ mother
I’d have

A poem by Naomi Durik
The ground is level at the foot of the cross
God shows no preference there,
He sent His dear Son to die for all
The sins of the world to bear.
The ground is level at the foot of the cross
It’s for all who will accept Him by grace,
Salvation is
