Wisdom does not equal knowledge. That’s what  I’ve been meditating on this week. I’m slowly reading through Job, and I’m once again delighted with his discussion of wisdom. It’s beautiful writing in itself, but it’s also challenging.
Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
21Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all [...]

Yesterday I opened up Proverbs 5 and read it for breakfast. [long pause] Yes, that’s the chapter about the immoral woman.
Last week when we were at the thrift store looking for books, David and Bethel were excited to find some birding magazines. One of them was a Smithsonian, and although I glanced at it when [...]

Here are the passages I’ve been meditating on this week. It starts with mom’s book, Glimpses of God, that I talked about the other day.
In Sunday school, we started the chapter discussing Lord Sabaoth, or Lord of Hosts. The chapter opens with a discussion of Joshua before going to Jericho.
And it came to pass, when [...]

Lee was out until late last night taking care of a sick baby in the hospital. You would think I would have taken the time to write one of the ten posts I’ve been thinking of. Maybe cleaned the kitchen better? Or gone to sleep at a decent hour? No, I did none of these [...]

Can I be both Mary and Martha at the same time?
I’ve been diligent this week. My closet is clean, the yard is looking great, I’ve been getting rid of clutter. I’ve even had time to get out my cookbooks (if you know me, that’s a good sign that ducks are getting in a row). [...]

I’ve read the Bible this week. I even thought about it. I didn’t always forget what I had read. But the question is, has Scripture [...]

A Wisdom Wednesday Post!
I’ve not been reading through the chronological reading guide, and I’ve not been doing very well at memorizing Philippians (remember, our church is doing this: two verses each week for the whole year). It’s hard, but that’s not a good excuse. Yesterday, I decided to get back on track. I’m going to [...]

Thank you for your prayers and notes. Although I’ve been absent, I’m feeling better. Hopefully I’ll soon answer all my emails. I’ve been able to talk with Lee regularly, and that’s helpful. Most important, I’ve been able to sit down and spend time in God’s Word. I haven’t caught up in the chronological Bible reading, [...]

At the beginning of the year, our pastor challenged our church to memorize the book of Philippians, one week at a time. That’s two verses a week, which most of the time I think I can manage, especially seeing as how many verses are so familiar.
This week I’ve been learning this:
And this I pray, that [...]

Last week and this week, the kids and I have talked several times about the phrase in Psalm 100: Serve the Lord with gladness.
Applications keep brimming over.
For the children, we’ve talked about it in context of a right response instead of complaining about chores. We discussed that sometimes, serving God can be inconvenient (like sharing [...]
