A woman's heart for God and life on a small ranch
I wonder if you are one of those people who are worn out by religious promises that fail to deliver, goodness that can’t be realized, and faithfulness that doesn’t make it? I am. Do you ever feel that Jesus is nowhere to be seen? That He is somehow avoiding you? I do. Aren’t you tired [...]
Do You Walk In White? “Buried with Him… that … even so we also should walk in newness of life.” Romans 6:4 ‘No one enters into the experience of entire sanctification without going through a “white funeral” – the burial of the old life. If there has never been this crisis of death, sanctification is [...]
This morning Paco and I decided to head off to the store to pick up a few things but, there was one condition… we had to drive his truck. Now, normally that means I have to get the gate, which isn’t usually a big deal, (except on the days where I’m feeling especially lazy), … [...]
Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

When I was a little girl I would sometimes go to church with my grandparents. I especially liked it when I could sit in the sanctuary with the “big people” and hear what the Preacher was saying. I always liked to hear the preacher rather than go in with the kids and play ‘stupid’ games. [...]
How many times we hear ourselves say, “Ooh, I just can’t help myself!” …And then later we discover we really could have – IF we really wanted to. How do you feel about that? Do you feel embarrassed? Remorseful? Contrary? Indifferent? In Galatians 5:23, a portion of the Fruit of the Spirit is temperance. Another [...]
…but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase more and more; And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands as we commanded you; That you may walk honestly toward them that are outside, and that you may have lack of nothing. ~ 1 [...]
