Homeschooling K
My kindergarten, online, on-demand course is “Letters Sounds Words.” You stream and go. Think of me as your co-teacher who plans lessons, teaches lessons, and models the work. You, as the other co-teacher, provide time, place, supplies, and monitor student engagement and give encouragement.
In the Walnut Tree

Blueberry Month
It’s sweetness takes me back to the summer morning when I picked them–a morning filled with bird songs, lingering night coolness, the rising sun lighting the sky, and the knowledge that my heavenly Father provides in abundance.
For Now . . . But Then
And just like that, on the other side of the tunnel, the fog was gone and it was bright and green. Such a metaphor of life!
I Speak Jesus

Bless the Lord
On this first Sunday of 2021, I'm speaking to myself (actually, commanding myself) with the words of the psalmist-- Bless the Lord, O my soul; And all that is within me, Bless His holy name! (Psalms 103) I am committed to awaken each day with these words in 2021. I’m...
Steps Are Ordered
God has ordered my steps!
Therefore, I do not walk in chaos.

Record-Breaking Heat Waves
By the middle of June the mercury in thermometers was racing over 100; it topped that mark for a total of 69 days that summer in 1980. Sixty-nine days — that’s almost ten weeks!
Boldness
“Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.”
Be Anxious for Nothing
Last night I awoke three different times. And each time, in my mind I saw the giant anxiety while its companion fear tried to squeeze my heart with its icy fingers.
The Lord Bless You
Today, like all that have preceded, will fade as the sun sets and will become yesterday, and then tomorrow will be today. But tonight, when it does, there is more — for we will step into 2021, a brand new year.

“Therefore take heart, men, for I believe God that it will be just as it was told me.”
