But One Life to Live
Psalm 119:147 I get up before the sun rises. I cry out for help. I’ve put my hope in your word. October 31, 2018 This month is all but gone. On October 1, I accepted a challenge in a writer’s group I belong to and committed to writing and posting on my blog for
Romans 12:12 When you hope, be joyful. When you suffer, be patient. When you pray, be faithful. Instructions from the book of life. Life has a way of convincing us there is no way those words written a few thousand years ago could apply to our lives today. We look around at every thing we
Colossians 3:15 Let the peace that Christ gives rule in your hearts. As parts of one body, you were appointed to live in peace. And be thankful. It’s really hard to feel this peace the apostle Paul talks about here. Events in our world consistently rob us of any peace that might bring us
Psalm 57:10-11 Great is your love. It reaches to the heavens. Your truth reaches to the skies. God, may you be honored above the heavens. Let your glory be over the whole earth. For this, I’m grateful. I’m a cloud watcher. Maybe because growing up on a farm it was what we did.
Proverbs 27:19 When you look into water, you see a likeness of your face. When you look into your heart, you see what you are really like. I’m not sure how I feel about this scripture right now. Situations come at us in such unexpected ways. From out of nowhere. From the people in our

Hebrews 6:19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain. Every day as our feet hit the floor, we are headed somewhere to do something and will be engaged in life until our head hits the pillow that night. How
Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you. This was a quick shot of the moon rising at early dusk the other evening. Sitting on my back porch that is screened
Job 8:14-15 What they trust in is very weak. What they depend on is like a spider’s web. A person leans on it, but it falls apart. He holds on to it, but it gives way. This scripture is one I take very seriously. Times in my life circumstances have literally taken my breath away.
Lamentations 3:22-23 “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” One of my favorite movies of all times is Groundhog Day. Partly because I grew up 20 miles from there. Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania is a small town made very famous
