“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises!”  (Psalm‬ ‭98:4‬) A picture truly is worth a thousand words when it comes to describing incredible design, masterful artistry, or the complexity of learning a new skill.  In fact, teachers understand this idea and incorporate this concept into their curriculums.  They understand the importance of seeing, hearing, and doing as key components in our learning process. It should not be amazing for us to understand God has used his knowledge of how he created us in his methods of teaching us about himself and the world we live in!  Yes, it is a beautiful day in God’s creation!   Let’s always be among those who honor his glory and understand He made us, and the earth that…

“And the Lord God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. And out of the ground the Lord God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.” (‭‭Genesis‬ ‭2:8-9‬ ) I love this time of year when spring is just beginning to burst upon us in the full glory of crocuses, daffodils and hyacinths.  The chirping of birds and chatter of squirrels greets you around every corner, and little green shoots are popping up all over the landscape.   The energy that was dormant in the ground during the apparent…

“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing?” Matthew‬ ‭6:25‬ Where do you go to find answers when challenged with a difficult, anxiety-filled situation?  When feelings of danger, vulnerability and distress threaten to upset your ordered, predictable daily life, and you are unsure that you are equipped to deal with the potential dangers?  Many people around the state, country and world are struggling with these very questions during this viral contagion that threatens the physical well-being of people around the world and in our own neighborhoods. We have access to so much information in our technologically rich society that many suffer from information overload,…

Lighthearted in the Lord

"Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life." (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4:23‬ ) Valentine’s Day, like the blossoming of spring, is just around the corner.  Being remembered with a card, candy or flowers on this holiday of the heart, can uplift us and lighten the heart, especially when the gift is from a sweetheart or a child.  Lighthearted is defined as being free from care and anxiety, or being cheerfully optimistic and hopeful. Interestingly, the “heart” is sometimes described as the seat of our emotions, this connection is also expressed within other common idiom, such as: Halfhearted Heart of the matter Eat your heart out From the bottom of my heart Take heart Heart of Gold Heart of Stone Wholeheartedly  Change of heart Jesus has much…
