We all know what it’s like to feel like an outsider at times. Quite often I feel like I am too different or too quirky, to those of my own age, to be accepted. I have always found it difficult to fit in and make friends easily – to feel like I really belong. InContinue reading “No Outsiders”

If you’re feeling like I am, you feel like you’re long past hope. You’re ready to give up. There really seems to be no end to the Coronavirus and that thought stirs up so much distress within me. I’m beginning my 7th week of lockdown now, and there seems to be little progress being made.Continue reading “Victory Over All”

Spring is truly upon us. Flowers are blooming and birds have built their nests; Nature is once again returning to new life. Spring is a season of growth and new starts.

Since these ‘lockdown measures’ have been in place, I have been reflecting on the things I would normally be able to do, that for now I can’t. All these things I just expect to have or do,Continue reading “Taking Things for Granted”

Spend some time reading Joshua 6: Now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelites. No one was allowed to go out or in. But the Lord said to Joshua, “I have given you Jericho, its king, and all its strong warriors. You and your fighting men should march around the townContinue reading “Bricks and Mortar”

“Don’t be like them, for your Father knows exactly what you need even before you ask him!” Matthew 6:8 In today’s society, money is important. We need money it seems for everything.
