Posted in From the bookshelf on November 19, 2009 | Comments Off

I have been reading Systematic Theology (by Wayne Grudem), and one of the chapters discussed what exactly is meant by the phrase “the Word of God” – the different meanings distinguishable in the Scriptures. Reading this chapter started me thinking…
Not only do we have the written Words of God in the Bible, as expressed by a plethora of [...]

…life…

Posted in Uncategorized on November 14, 2009 | 3 Comments »

The past few days have been very stressful and hectic (hence, no blogging!). My “mantra”, as I scurry around from one task to the next, has been, “Oh, there’s so much to do and so much to be done!” [grin]
And that’s exactly what it’s been like! :) Between preparing for and teaching piano lessons, trying [...]

John 12:28

Posted in Devotions on November 10, 2009 | Comments Off

Now My heart is troubled, and what shall I say? “Father, deliver Me from this hour”?
No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour.
Father, glorify Your Name.
Instead of wanting to be simply delivered from what He was about to endure, Jesus knew that His troubled and sorrowful heart was part of [...]

I learned a new word today – ingot.

Random…

It’s so weird to be able run around without even a coat in early November, but I’m enjoying it immensely. I don’t think it will last very long, but I’m loving it while it does!
I took my traditional Sunday afternoon walk today, and I got to wear flip-flops! I had packed them away for next summer a month or [...]

When good things must die

Posted in From the bookshelf on November 6, 2009 | Comments Off

The fair new petals must fall, and for no visible reason.  No one seems enriched by the stripping.
And the first step into the realm of giving is a like surrender — not manward, but Godward: an utter yielding of our best.  So long as our idea of surrender is limited to the renouncing of unlawful [...]

Emma’s song

Posted in Uncategorized on November 2, 2009 | 9 Comments »

This is probably my favorite part of the movie Emma. Did You Not Hear My Lady is such a pretty song.
This song was written by G. F. Handel for the opera Tolomeo in the 1700’s. It’s original title was Silent Worship.

From an autumn walk

Some of the things I [...]
