So Glad Our Current Sunday School Series Is On Heaven!

It's a difficult week to have a grave site service and back to back hospital calls...arghhhh. This getting sick and the process of dying is the pits. Being ready and longing for eternity with Jesus is the paramount perspective giver. I cannot wait till heaven!

Thanksgiving in Action

Just a simple thought that thanksgiving and gratitude in action means that we live like we trust God!


"Wait on God alone in stillness, O my soul.
O God, teach us to seek security,
not in money or theft,
not in human ambition or malice,
not in our own ability or power,
but in you, the only God,
our rock and our salvation."

From the Daily Office, the refrain on Psalm 62 (wonderfully and simply translated in the NLT).

The Unique Jesus Story

Psalm 73.23-28

Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever. Those who are far from you will perish; you destroy all who are unfaithful to you. But as for me, it is good to be near God. I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge; I will tell of all your deeds.

Deliver Me

(from the Daily Office)

Psalm 119.153, 154, 156

O consider my affliction and deliver me,
for I do not forget your law.
Plead my cause and redeem me;
according to your promise, give me life.
Great is your compassion, O Lord;
give me life, according to your judgements

Refrain: I have longed for your salvation, O Lord.
God of mercy, swift to help us,
as our lips pour forth your praise,
fill our hearts with the peace you give
to those who wait for your salvation
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
