Wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise... interesting verse for the 20th century. No one ever decided, “Today, I will become an alcoholic”. Alcoholism, as with any other habit, starts with one... “I can handle one.” In James it says: sometimes we refrain from certain behaviour, even acceptable behaviour, so we do not cause a stumbling block to someone else. Something to consider. To ponder. May we allow God’s voice to become our guide in every situation. Everyday. In every way.

Dear Mom, God is looking for mothers who are looking for Him. With your solitary life, God can do abundantly, more than you can imagine. The Bible says, Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (James 4:8) What an invitation! Just draw near. When I was a young mom with a […]
Dear Mom, As hard as it is, don’t be discouraged with your child’s maturity progress. Each child develops at a different rate; ask any farmer and they will tell you: seeds – generally – grow – slow. As you patiently wait and water, (often with tears) you can expect a good harvest. Proverbs 31, is […]
