Yesterday, I finished a study entitled Arise, A study on the book of Nehemiah by The Daily Grace Co. Since Nehemiah rebuilt Jerusalem’s wall, I decided to read the book of Ezra. He is the one who rebuilt the Temple. Both Ezra and Nehemiah were praying men. I had to chuckle when reading the last… ... mehr auf joyreturns.com
The New International Version uses the word “still,” while the New Living Translation uses the word “calm.” Silent, from the English Standard Version, describes me the best. As my house is silent most of the time. Although I am working on a remedy. However, this evening the windows are open and I’m being serenaded by&#... mehr auf joyreturns.com

I left Walmart today in tears, and this time it wasn’t because the fresh ginger was $3.98 a pound (it was, and I’ll probably end up throwing most of it out, again) or that so many of the plants on … Continue reading →... mehr auf k8edid.wordpress.com
There’s a place I will go. And when I get there, people I have wronged, and people who did me wrong, will greet me. We will embrace. We will not know tears. We will know the truth of love and the truth of our journeys. There will be understanding like we’ve never known. The sorrows […]... mehr auf bikecolleenbrown.wordpress.com

Six weeks ago my world tilted off balance. It still doesn’t feel righted, and I don’t think it ever will. It was an ordinary day. An ordinary Monday.

I am fifteen feet from a harp, and behind the harp sits a harpist. And from that harp comes the most exquisite emotion. I don’t think there have ever been words created that echo emotion like music does. From this harp this emotion floats out to surround us. It weaves around, above and through us.

I sat at your grave today. I didn’t cry. I do remember standing here years ago, in a downpour. A downpour like I had never experienced before, or since. I cried then. I sobbed then. Uncontrollably.

Many years ago I met a man. He was a gentle, soft spoken and kind man. The more I got to know him the more beautiful he became in my eyes.

Over the years people have emailed or commented that they wish they had my faith. Well, my faith has been pretty weak. Oh I’ve understood John 3:16 since I was a kid.
