Hunger & Thirst – Food & Water
The sound of barking jerked me awake. Groggily I glanced at my watch- 4:45am. The fact that Adi continued to sleep peacefully nearby told me that Summer was not issuing an alarm bark. “Hopefully she’ll go back to sleep,” I thought.

A Moment with our Creator: Luke 12:27-28

Remember
A Lesson from a Lab is normally posted on the first of each month. This month, however, I waited until today- January 6th. It’s a special day in our home as it marks the day that our black Labrador Adi joined our family as a roly-poly puff of puppy love seven years ago. Time is …
Moment with Our Creator: 2 Peter 1:19
. . .You must pay close attention to what they [the prophets] wrote, for their words are like a lamp shining in a dark place—until the Day dawns, and Christ the Morning Star shines in your hearts. 2 Peter 1:19, NLT The nativity story overflows with fulfilled prophecies, which is one of the reasons I …
Abide with Me
“Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide. . .” - Henry Francis Lyte, hymnist* Some words seem so simple to spell yet so difficult to fully comprehend.
