Tea Tuesdays
Blogging is work! I have a new found respect for bloggers who daily or even weekly consistently post. It takes dedication, inspiration and time to provide fresh content that has value and informs. The secret, it seems, is a passion for the topic, a plan and a schedule. Imagine that, a schedule! I’m wading in…

Wear the Cross for the 21 Martyrs
It’s nearly unbelievable to think what is happening to our brothers and sisters in Christ is the Middle East. I am calling all brothers and sisters to stand in solidarity with our martyred brothers and sisters in Egypt. We are the nation of the cross. Wear your cross as a sign of unity of faith.…

He Walks With Me and He Talks With Me
I’m thinking of an old hymn this morning as I write this. I deeply appreciate the old hymns because they are so full of such deep meaning. Many are full of theology, some are cries to God for help, many contain Scripture. I also enjoy the new worship songs of this day, but nothing will…
