Oh, my goodness! I think I have fallen in love and have found a new favorite psalm! My favorites tend to change on a daily basis, but still! This is a psalm FULL of thoughts that I just totally relate to! Different psalms relate to different seasons in our lives, I suppose, but this one …
Verse 1 of Psalm 9 says: “I will praise you, O Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonders.” Isn’t God good? I’ll tell you one of His wonders right now, That He still cares for me. That’s a wonder. I suppose it’s not just me. I’m probably not the only …
Psalm 4: Lest you think God’s Word no longer applies…. The NIV study Bible has a text note that helped me understand this psalm better this morning than perhaps I have done in the past. It says that David probably wrote this psalm in the face of some crisis in the nation, possibly drought, which …
Today, I was reading Psalm 1. Here’s the text of the first three verses: Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his …
In this post, I’ll teach you how to make an Authentic Swiss Fondue. They’re quite easy to prepare, once you have the right ingredients, and understand a bit of technique.

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth; Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps …
In “Why I Went to the Woods” , Henry David Thoreau attempts to explain why he chose to escape civilization to live in the woods. (Note the excerpt from that just underneath my blog title.) But why the heck did I go to the woods? I wish Thoreau were here to explain it to you. …
Today, I realized I might be going about this prayer thing all wrong. I was reading today in John 5 about the healing at the pool of Bethesda. The pool was surrounded by five covered colonades. Here a great number of disabled people used to lie: the blind, the lame, the paralyzed. Waiting. Waiting. Day …
It’s the last day of 2008, and the birthday of my blog. Out with the old, in with the new. Starting small, with baby steps. Yesterday, on the Sonlight Forums, a friend sent me a private message in regard to my thread where I asked for input as to whether or not to start a …
