This is just a blog about my thoughts, my family, my everyday life. Because I am a Christian and have ups and downs like everyone else, I hope it will encourage others to either turn to Christ for the first time, or lean on Him when times are rough. Often life is just random and funny. I started this blog after many years of writing to my church about our vacations. They began to encourage me to blog and finally I am. Thanks for reading.

"Behold, upon the mountains, the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace!" Nahum 1:15

God is most glorified in us when we are most satisfied in Him. John Piper

Red Letters

Recently my husband gave me a large print bible...(pausing for laughter to subside)...as it seemed my eyes were begging for one.  As I eagerly examined it, I discovered that it was not a "red letter" edition.  What??  How was I going to find Jesus' exact words that He spoke?  How would I know which words were most important?  About now, I am sounding ridiculous...aren't I?  God's word is God's word...all of it...all important.  My brain had relied so much on those red letters to guide me to certain verses, to quickly find the gospels, to more easily find Jesus' conversations with others.  I almost said to Tommy, "Oh no!!  It's not red letter!" but then I opened it again.  Jesus' words are worth searching for and the words in black are equally important, else they would not be included in scripture...What a small bible we would all own, if the only words printed had red letters.  Many of Jesus' words are black lettered ones from the Old Testament.  So there:)
