Should A Christian Get Acupuncture Therapy?

“In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, O LORD, will keep me safe.”Psalm 4:8 I came across this verse last night during my daily Bible reading. After I read the day’s selections (slated to get me to finish the Bible in a year’s time), I promptly fell peacefully asleep, as the verse — and my heart — professed. Zzzzzzzzzz An hour later, my legs jerked me awake.  I do not use the term “jerked” lightly.  The episode begins with a tingling and muscle contraction in the tip of my tongue and around my mouth.  Then a … Continue reading Should A Christian Get Acupuncture Therapy?

Can’t go it alone

3 All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort….We were crushed and overwhelmed beyond our ability to endure, and we thought we would never live through it. 9 In fact, we expected to die. But as a result, we stopped relying on ourselves and learned to rely only on God, who raises the dead. 10 And he did rescue us from mortal danger, and he will rescue us again. We have placed our confidence in him, and he will continue to rescue us. 11 And you are helping us by praying for us.” … Continue reading Can’t go it alone

Reflecting God’s Glory With 100 ISO

So much of what I am learning in my photography class is translating into new insights about God’s wisdom and glory. For example, today I’ve been pondering how a camera’s sensitivity to light (ISO) is somewhat similar to a person’s sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. Hold on to your hats for a second, because my analogy is a bit far fetched. But I’ll explain it anyway. Because it’s Valentine’s Day, and I can. Back in the days of film, ISO was a measurement of how sensitive a particular roll of film was to light.  In today’s digital cameras, ISO is … Continue reading Reflecting God’s Glory With 100 ISO

An introverted sisterchick wannabe

There is a hole in my heart, and I think the Lord has been whispering to me about how to fill it. On Sunday the pastor spoke to us about the promptings of the Holy Spirit and whether we are ready to say YES. I felt like there must have been a giant spotlight pointed right on my head because I am the poster child for saying NO. I settle for whatever I see in my life because it’s comfortable, it’s familiar, my silver-haired self is tired, and I don’t really have a vision for my life beyond what three … Continue reading An introverted sisterchick wannabe

Thirteen Little Things

Just a few random thoughts tonight that I thought I’d share with you lovely readers. I have the music to the Seussical Jr. musical running through my head due to the fact that my daughter’s auditions are in two days.  If I belt out “A-mazing Mazie” or “The Thinks You Can Think,” please insert ear plugs and give me a little grace.  I can’t help it.  Those songs are just too cute! And addicting. My memory card/computer/camera/virus/dog ate my photography class homework.  I was thrilled to start shooting photos today as part of my homework.  I set those f-stops and … Continue reading Thirteen Little Things
