It’s also possible these days for someone to choose to make a stand when the push of a society that does not run with God’s laws and principles. This taking of the high road sounds good , but

We Are Living Books

662) It’s easy for us to be overly concerned with our words and actions. This is an important thing. But sometimes we can forget that our day-to-day words and actions speak loudly. I read somewhere years ago that you may be the only Bible some people read. Genesis 47 illustrates this when Joseph goes to

Admitting We are Wrong

661) Admitting I am wrong is sometimes a struggle. It’s not because I don’t want to “own” the poor judgment, word or action; it’s because I’m afraid that if I bring to others’ attention my error, then they would have nothing to do with me. This is because deep down, I can sometimes think there

God Loves When We Don’t Deserve It

660) The life of Joseph, as recorded in Genesis 41, is my all-time favorite one to study with the exception of the life of Jesus. I’ve even named my protagonist, Joseph, in my up-coming novel, The Bottle House, in honor of Jacob’s favorite son. I admire so much of Joseph’s character. If anyone had a

A Little Pencil in God’s Hand

659) A couple of years ago, my husband built me a writing station. It can hold both my computer monitors, books, pens, and paper with two small filing cabinets to hold my paperwork. Above this, I have a bulletin board and a whiteboard. As I had the joy of getting this area set up, I

657) People throughout history have been interested in angels. If you walk through many big box stores, you will find evidence of them in books, jewelry, and cards. Owners of these stores know angels sell merchandise because they fascinate people. Some Christians say there is evidence in the Bible that ‘guardian angels’ exist. It’s an

Deception is Never a Good Thing

656) I have a quote book where for many years, I have written things I want to remember. One such quote is, A liar better have a good memory. Deception is becoming a common thing in society. In fact, our specific words for lying have developed into: a little white lie, a fib, a falsehood.

Spiritual Genetics

655) It is not unusual these days to do genetic testing on perspective parents. In these results, potential illnesses, health benefits, family history warnings, connections with others you did not know exist, and ethnic make-up can be known. The problem is, these tests do not cover everything. Genesis 25:23 tells us that God specifically knew

When God Doesn’t Make Sense

653) I’ve mentioned before that words and their meanings fascinate me. This may be a reason one specific word stands out to me in Genesis 17. In the New International Version of the Bible, “will” is used 31 times. As I read through this passage, I also notice that the word, “promise” is not used.
