Thoughts

Saturday September 30, 2006 My eight year old son Jonah was in Minneapolis, Minnesota at the Metro dome watching the Minnesota Twins in a late season baseball game earlier this week. Knowing that the Twins have a wild-card slot and that they could clinch their division, there is a lot of excitement in Minnesota these…

Saturday September 16, 2006 If you take time to tune out all the “noise” in life, you might be able to hear God’s small still voice. It’s hard to discern what God is saying to you through the midst of the “busy-ness.” Take time this weekend to spend with the Lord….He wants to talk with…

Friday, June 30, 2006 Monday we welcomed into the world our fourth grandchild, a beautiful little girl. I am reminded of the miracle of birth, the innocence of which we are born and the dependence babies have on their mothers. God truly is good and he has blessed us with two grandsons and two granddaughters.…

Sunday, May 28, 2006 A couple of weeks ago, I got home from a service and made a salad for supper. As I started eating it, my stomach started hurting. I thought I should maybe not eat any more, but then I realized I needed to eat something. During the night I woke up with…

Sunday, April 30, 2006 I have lived in a foreign country for over two years now. I represent a ministry here and am well aware that as a foreigner, I represent my country, the ministry and most importantly, my Savior to all I meet. And no matter how hard I try to be like the…

I drove our 1973 Ford 12 passenger van that we are leaving in Texas to be used in the ministry. My first stop was in Boone , Iowa where a church is starting a food ministry and we are blessing them with their first…

Friday, March 31, 2006 We have something offered for sale on the internet. Some people responded today and said, “If you will meet us half way with it we will buy it, providing it is not damaged.” Hmmm…. It is a good thing God doesn’t work that way. He is willing to come the whole…

Tuesday, February 28, 2006 The life of a beggar may not be peaches and cream but the beggar knows what side of the bread is buttered and by who. The self-sufficient seem to be missing that point in their life. They think they are furnishing the bread and butter, choosing which side is going to…

Wednesday, February 1, 2006 My grandson is 26 months old and, for some reason, he enjoys numbers, shapes and letters. He can name all the letters in the alphabet and all the letters. A few weeks ago he was sitting on my lap and counted to 16. He recognizes shapes like circles, hearts, triangles and…

Wednesday, June 14, 2006 Sometimes to keep your life in tune you have to sing a new song! -Lyn Sahr -Ps 96:1-6 NIV Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. 2 Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day. 3 Declare his glory…
