I was talking with a new friend I met in a meal ministry in a low income apartment building in Portland Oregon. It was quite a few years ago near the Easter season. She was struggling with the idea that Jesus really died. Yes, he went to the cross but Jesus would never die. SheContinue reading “Did Jesus Really Die?”

Poetry or Plain Talk?
I was listening to a sermon. It was on Genesis chapter one. The preacher said for us to remember that Genesis chapter one is poetry. I was a shocked! Why? If you are a consistent reader of my blog, you will remember that God has been teaching me about Hebrew poetry. I’m still in theContinue reading “Poetry or Plain Talk?”
Mountain Top Experiences!
I am traveling home from a mountain top experience! When someone says that, usually they are meaning a wonderful spiritual or emotionally powerful few days! But I was just at Whistler and Blackcomb mountains in British Columbia, Canada. I rode the Peak to Peak Gondola and a chairlift to the Top of the World! Yes,Continue reading “Mountain Top Experiences!”
Evolution: True Science Fiction
I read this title in a christian joke pamphlet and it caught my eye and made me laugh! On my first date with my husband, a university science major, he told me I had come from a monkey! (I cried when he said that.) Even my godly dad said he believed in the Big BangContinue reading “Evolution: True Science Fiction”
The Big Lie
I had a dream about snakes the other night. There was a group around me who had snakes. I was holding this big long snake and swinging it round and round, faster and faster, wilder and wilder, round and round, and it did not bite me. With a dream like that the first thing IContinue reading “The Big Lie”
The Zion Road Trip
I love road trips! Well, I should say, “we” love road trips! I wouldn’t want to do it alone. We have done a lot of road trips in our fifty-one years of marriage! Our family even did a six month road trip when the kids were little. There is always adventure and interesting things toContinue reading “The Zion Road Trip”
He Told Me I Came From a Monkey!
My husband Richard and I have been married 50 years. We often retell our courtship stories! We love it! Courtship stories just make your heart go “ahhh”! There’s one of our stories that we laugh at now, but it wasn’t funny then. We had been going on a number of dates and did a lotContinue reading “He Told Me I Came From a Monkey!”
Faith in the Creator
Yesterday in church service, the announcements-greeter asked us all, “Who likes to fast?!” She asked it with joy and exuberance! No one cheered, but three people yelled out, “Yes!” I don’t enjoy fasting, I’ll admit it. But I love that our church has church-wide fasts together. We study the same scripture and have videoContinue reading “Faith in the Creator”
Re-Creation
It’s a sunny day today!! I have five ‘sunshine songs’ that I sing on a sunny day! On a sunny day in the Pacific Northwest, everyone is happy. It becomes our recreation day-off. We all get outdoors into nature or work in our yards. There’s nothing like it! We look at the hanging moss-filled trees,Continue reading “Re-Creation”
