I have occasionally been accused of being pedantic. I guess I take after my Dad. He loved not only to know how things worked, but to tell you all about it. He could go on for hours explaining the workings of a motor down to the last nut and bolt, and I can still feel […]

“All to Jesus I surrender; All to Him I freely give; I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live.” (From the song “I Surrender All” Van De Venter/Weeden 1896, Public Domain) Inspiring, isn’t it? Whenever I hear this grand, old song it nearly always carries my heart to finer heights than […]

My writing style […]

I am praying tonight that we find rest in the joy of our First Love.
Laying it all down at the altar of grace... this is where we find our peace. And we need You, Lord. We need You when the day is long and our bodies are tired. We need You when the problems are bigger than us and our hearts are weary. We need You when we don't know what to do next. We need You, when our minds are so full of this-and-that, to become the Center of us. We need our eyes on You and Your Spirit within. We are weak and we need Your strength. We need Your living water to fill all these brittle and dry places... more than anything else in this world, it is Your love that we need.
Let us not lose heart and not lose the hope in this ~ Jesus, we are Yours.
Holy Spirit, come fall afresh on me...
~ Christie
