Resonate
A lot of my posts may seem a bit random, and they are! They are just things or topics that spark my interest. I think that generally blogs have a theme that golf all the posts together. More like my “journey” blog. This blog, not so much. Up until now I’ve put a lot of Read More …
Trust or Control.
From today’s devotion… The problem, however, is that trust and control do not coexist. You can have control or you can have trust, but you can’t have both. This presents a challenge considering that throughout scripture, God’s instruction to us is to trust Him. In fact, we often see that God’s guidance does not include Read More …
He is mighty to save…
when I need saving. When I enter into the arena of anxiety about a possible issue, it’s as if I’m going into battle alone against that issue. His strength and power is available to us as we need it. I have seen Him provide peace, strength, and help so many times in my life when Read More …

Happy
What makes you happy? Well, maybe not “happy” but some other kind of feeling like content, secure, mellow or perhaps it is some form of happy, This is a bit of an unusual “happy” but it’s these knives. I’ve had these two knives for quite a long time, I don’t exactly know how long but Read More …
Eternity
Where will you spend it? Today’s devotion also lead to reading about Arthur Stace, Mr. Eternity. I highly recommend giving it a read. And as things do on the web it lead to a look at Copperplate Script which lead to a calligraphy course which I might try.
