“More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.” Tennyson It’s been a while since I shared any 1st Sunday Devotionals. I know. This isn’t the first Sunday in November. That’s okay. This isn’t exactly a devotional piece either. It’s some quotes and more gleaned from the ones I’ve gathered over the years and used in the bulletins …
What a beautiful week we’ve had here in Kentucky. Spring has been all around with blooming trees and warm sunshine. It was enough to give you Spring fever and make some of you want to go fishing. Not me. I haven’t discovered whatever it is about fishing that makes people long after a pond bank. I like to walk on …
Hi, everybody. I’ve worn glasses for sixty or so years. I can’t quite imagine me without glasses. But today, due to an issue with my eyes, I had cataract surgery on my right eye and tomorrow I’ll have the same on my left eye. They say when my eyes recover from the surgery, I won’t need glasses for distance. …
Sometimes you are blessed to get to know a person who is gifted with those fruits of the Spirit named in Galatians 5: 22-23. Love. Joy. Peace. Longsuffering. Kindness. Goodness. Faithfulness.

They were mostly in Christian bookstores. The majority of the books were nonfiction, but then a shelf or two or maybe a rack would have novels. I wondered if that was …
One in eight women have breast cancer. A year ago in August I found out I was that one in eight women as I went for a biopsy and got the bad news that I had breast cancer. Since that time, I’ve talked to so many women who have had a similar diagnosis or whose mother or sister has. The …
Prayer becomes more meaningful as we counsel with the Lord in all of our doings, as we express heartfelt gratitude, and as we pray for others. (David A. Bednar) Do you have a special prayer warrior in your church? One of those people you better not ask to pray for something you want unless you’re really sure you want the …
Our church went to visit a very special member tonight. Loretta will be 98 next month. We were a little early with her birthday cake, but she didn’t mind. She was quick to tell us the age on the cake was wrong. She was proud to claim that extra year even if it is a few weeks until her birthday. …
Celebration time! For a writer, there’s not much more exciting than seeing a new book coming out for readers – even when that new book is simply one dressed up in a new cover. With the re-release of Summer of Joy, in a few weeks, my Heart of Hollyhill books will once more all be in print again and inviting …
