During this COVIC quarantine time, when few daily pleasures occur with regularity, I am thankful for three people who bless me with their photography. One posts pictures of sunrises each morning, perfectly framed with a river dock or palm trees or both; one takes daily walks through the woods and focuses on both the “big” picture and minute details, and my nephew delights in photographing the vast sky and beauty of rural Arizona. God’s eternal glory is revealed to us…..
When the world seems to be in chaos, and disappointment and confusion abound, it’s so good to know that God loves us, and that He sent Jesus so we could follow Him through the morass and wilderness. John 10:27 says: “My sheep listen to My voice. I know them, and they follow Me.” Susie Larson writes in “Blessings for Every Day” : May God give you Spirit-eyes to see the blessings in your battles. May He givve you Spirit=ears to…..
Exodus 14:14 reminds us to be still and just listen. It says: “The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.” The last few days have been tense, thinking about my sister’s hospitalization, her COVID treatment, and her delayed physical therapy after her shoulder replacement surgery.

He is a star-breathing miracle -working, intimately involved God.”…..

She has received antibody infusion and Remdisivir and is doing well. Thank you for your prayers. Today’s Ephesians 3:19 verse is true: “May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great…..
Jerry Klemm’s sermon yesterday on facing trials, which we all are during this period of time and always, I suppose, is very timely. After a wonderful worship time and a tremendously welcome live concert by the Space Coast Symphony, I cam to home the message my younger sister, Dottie was in crisis. She fell sometime during the night on Saturday, remained on the floor all night until she remembered to press her med-alert button to call the paramedics, and was…..
