God Loves You
In a scary time for me, when I had a serious eye issue, didn’t know whether I would retain useful sight, and was far from my doctors, I would wake at night to see if I could still see. I was scared. During this same time, I was editing my book (When Storms Come: Will…
Read MoreI’ve Got This
Kapoho crater, Harry Durgin Facebook I’ve Got This “I’ve got this,” says someone picking up a tab. “I’ve got this,” says a person moving a heavy box. “I’ve got this,” says someone who is solving a thorny issue. “I’ve got this,” says our most high, all-powerful, eternally faithful God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Facts …
Read MoreTrust God and Press On
My 2021 resolution: Trust God and Press On. I usually have a short statement, sometimes one word, as a goal for the new year. It may sound silly, but I remember times that one word or phrase energized and guided me in a godly way. Trusting God was the big lesson in 2020, and is continuing…
Read MoreBe Not Afraid
Be Not Afraid This first time I saw this cartoon, the door was labelled “June.” This year, 2020, has been hard, unexpectedly hard. And there is every reason to be concerned about what is beyond the 2021 door. But God tells us, over and over: “Be not afraid;” “Do not fear.” We are guaranteed trouble.…
Read MoreGod’s Gift of Hope
At Christmas we, of course, rejoice about Christ’s birth. God with us. The eternal Word made flesh.

(John 1:14) For believers, those who have repented, believed, and received…
Read MoreHabits
Tomorrow will be like today, only more so. (Isaiah 56:12) Huh?! That verse puzzled me for years, but now I see how it applies to habits. What we do (or don’t do) today reinforces what we do (or don’t do) tomorrow. Our habit becomes stronger or weaker. If we want to start or strengthen a routine,…
Read MoreDo Not Fret
Current events have, for me anyway, highlighted evil doers. And not only that, it can seem that they’re winning. Too often I focus on bad times, horrible events, evil deeds. It is easy for me to fret about it. Do not fret But God tells me not to fret. Do not fret because of evildoers. (Psalm…
Read MoreTime is Up!
Time’s Up! Many activities have time limits I remember teachers saying: “Time’s up. Close your booklets. Put down your pen. Hand in your exam.” Fans watch the clock count down to the end of the game. People watch the ball marking the time left to the new year. Spiritual time limits Salvation Today if you hear…

Read MoreGiving Thanks for our Trustworthy God
What are you thankful for on this Thanksgiving Day? It is a good exercise to stop and count our blessings, both spiritual and temporal. There are many! Today, though, I am giving thanks that God is trustworthy. I am thankful that God is the one in whom I trust. I don’t/can’t/shouldn’t put my trust in…
