Election Eve

As I sit here on “Election Eve” I am overwhelmed with the need to pray for our nation.  I have felt this for the last several months as have many of you.  As I pray this evening I am so saddened by the fact that our country is divided.  It feels like two separate nations on so many issues.

I pray our nation can be healed.  I pray our nation can learn to respect one another again.  I am old enough to remember a time when you could have differences of opinions and “agree to disagree”.   I pray our nation will remember our founding Fathers and how this nation was built.  I pray our nation can be the nation that God designed it to be.

I pray for the body of Christ.  I pray that WE can unite as one and not appear splintered in so many areas.  I pray that we will stop “shooting our wounded” and “casting stones”.  I pray that we can love unconditionally as Christ loves so that people will want to know “this Jesus” that we believe in and trust.

And I am reminded that it doesn’t matter the outcome….like it or not….I know that my God is still God.  He is still on the throne. And Jesus Christ is still coming again.

And that my hope…my only hope is:

IN CHRIST ALONE

They cry when they hurt. They scream when they are mad. They yell when someone aggravates them. Fear will often drive them into their parent’s beds at night. Continue reading Honest Kids

Dear Older Me,

Dear Older Me,

 

I am thinking about the fact that today I am 56 years old. How can that be? I am not ashamed to tell my age, show my wrinkled hands or my “needs a touch up” grey head of hair. I am just glad I have more hair on my head than ends up in the drain every day that I wash it!

I decided to write a letter to the 86 year old me….. Continue reading Dear Older Me,
