I thought of my granddaughters as we studied 1 John 3 last month. My daughter had posted this picture of her little one-and-a-half-year-old on Facebook early in the month. (I love the rainbow umbrella!) A walk to the park — the big park — had been promised earlier in the day. After going through all that it takes to get three little people into coats and boots and out the door, they […]

We’ve come to the end of our study of 1 John 3. Many of you will still be working on the lessons for a few more days in order to finish up. Then what do we do? What’s next?

Read More →Showing Our Children How to Love God’s Word, PLUS a New 30 Day Study!
How can we inspire our children to love God and His Word? What can we do to raise children who will love God and live their lives in joyful obedience to Him — even after they leave our homes? Of course, our most effective tool is prayer. God is the one who does His work in the hearts of our children. But He will use us in the process, and one of […]
Read More →In Awe of His Grace
I welcomed another new little grandbaby into the world last week. She was born in a rustic A-frame house that my daddy built many years ago, and I cried as her other grandma and I stood in awe at her arrival. It was like life had come full circle, and I was overwhelmed by the reminder of God’s love and grace as we met this beautiful little girl. That A-frame […]

I read a very loose paraphrase of Romans 8:35-39 on the wall of my friend’s laundry room the other day. I was surprised, when I finished reading, to find my name at the bottom of it! Weird. I don’t remember writing it, but then, I could hardly remember my name during those 6-kids-10-and-under days of my life. Perhaps you’ll be able to relate… Who shall separate us from the love Christ? Shall […]
