A Tale of Three pictures

The ephemeral beauty of unusual pink lilies: I’d call them rose-coloured, but every one of my former students would have a facepalm moment at such poor style! The blooms burst into glory today; yet already are showing signs that their exquisite splendour is transient. I can’t stop looking at them. Despite their impermanence, they make me happy. I stopped at the shops on my way home: a faint…

A Garden And A Path

In January of this year (2023) the Lord was leading me to work on an album of original prayersongs tentatively titled Paths of Praise Christian Worship Songs. Suddenly He interrupted that work which I was completely focused on and switched directions. He asked me to create an album of traditional hymns as a gift for His children. When the Lord changes my focus on a project it completely humbles…

DOUBT

There have been many occasions in which our assurance, faith, sanity, and security are disturbed. It’s not even a guarantee for Christians to perpetually feel the privilege of claiming eternity. There’s always this monster lurking before, behind, and after us. Whatever your issues are, DOUBT kills all hope and faith. The Bible says in Romans 8:35-39, “Who shall separate us from the love of…

Protecting Our Faith: Relevance of 3 Nephi 1 Today

As we look closer at 3 Nephi 1, we recognize its urgent call to remain steadfast and vigilant in our spiritual journey. The ancient prophet Nephi reminds us that it only takes a single generation for belief to waver and truth to become diluted.

We Must Protect Ourselves: Insights from 3 Nephi 1 on Staying True In a world where distractions are many and spiritual truths often feel challenged, the teachings of 3 Nephi 1 are more relevant today than ever. This sacred text warns us of the ease with which one can slip into apostasy, simply through complacency or neglect. Here, the scripture captures the heartbreaking tale of a faithful…

Trust Is an Action Verb

Trust Is More Than Words One of the greatest challenges in our faith journey is learning what it means to really trust God. We say we trust God, but do we act in ways that show God that we truly trust Him? Previously, I’ve written about a challenge I’ve had: struggling with something, I’ll finally ask God for help and instantly feel better. For a little while, that is—until I grow concerned that…

The Sole Secret to Success

1 Then David said, “Here shall be the house of the Lord God and here the altar of burnt offering for Israel.” 2 David commanded to gather together the resident aliens who were in the land of Israel, and he set stonecutters to prepare dressed stones for building the house of God. 3 David also provided great quantities of iron for nails for the doors of the gates and for clamps, as well as bronze…

The Church is God’s Sacred Space

Back when the Old Testament stories were still being lived out, God designated sacred spaces for His people to meet with Him. First, God planted a garden in Eden—a beautiful space in paradise for His prized creations. Next, the tabernacle was a portable space in the wilderness for the Israelites who’d been rescued from Egyptian slavery. Then, the temple was a permanent space in Jerusalem for the…

September 4th-we are looking forward to a restoration of eternal life that has been devastated by sin.

Nahum 2: 2 For the LORD will restore the splendor of Jacob Like the splendor of Israel, Even though devastators have devastated them And destroyed their vine branches. The restoration spoken of here may refer to restoring His people to the splendor of Jacob, but it also could refer to eternal splendor. The vine symbolizes the Lord, and the branches symbolize the life He brings to us as we are…

Firm in Faith

When the house of David was told, “Syria is in league with Ephriam,” the heart of Ahaz and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.”Isaiah 7:2, ESV Ahaz, King of Judah, and his people stand on the brink of war. Their hands shake. Their food is heavy in their stomachs. They watch their children play with heavy hearts, wondering what tomorrow will bring. God…

Ring of Fire

As I sit here humming Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire,” I can’t help but think about the many rings of fire that touch our lives. Johnny sang of a love so fierce it felt like flames. Couples wear rings that symbolize their promises to forever love each other through all of life’s seasons. A few months ago, we looked up and witnessed a different kind of fire – a solar eclipse creating a celestial…

Silent, Immovable Reminders of Hope

Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. Psalms‬ ‭19‬:‭2‬ I love the mountains. A few years ago we took a trip from our midwest, relatively flat area to the mountains. Driving through one pass in particular, the mountains on either side of us nearly blocked the sky. They were huge. One of the things I thought of as I gazed at these immense rocks is how they…

Jesus Said, “Of That Day And Hour No One Knows but the the Father.”

Jesus said, Of That Day And Hour No one Knows_ not even the angels in Heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” Mark 13:32 This is the third video in a series of Time lapse prayer paintings I’ve done since Sunday. I published them on YouTube. I rarely publish my Timelapse paintings. But these I felt inspired to share because they are for the most part, efforts to paint with my non dominant, or…

The Farewell Speech of Joshua (Joshua 23:1-16)

Where is your ultimate happiness, fulfillment, and satisfaction found?

The tomb of Joshua in the West Bank After a long time had passed and the Lord had given Israel rest from all their enemies around them, Joshua, by then a very old man, summoned all Israel—their elders, leaders, judges and officials—and said to them: “I am very old. You yourselves have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations for your sake; it was the Lord your God who…

W15D3: What can be done and celebrated today?

Waking up this morning and off on a dog walk, the song to kick off the morning is “Nothing Sweeter” by TobyMac. As I step into today, I reflect on the answers I have found in regard to what to do in the midst of the in between times and found some interesting training that provides certificates and diplomas for me to dig into today. Considering what can be on the agenda for today from laundry for…
