Monday, August 4: Philippians 4:11-13, 4:4-9

11-13: Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

Sunday, August 3: Psalm 34:1

I will bless the Lord at all times;

his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

Psalm 34:1 

From 2024…

"His praise shall continually be in my mouth." When I tell a story of something unique that happened or someone else tells a story about one, I like to call that a God thing. No matter what kind of story, from sad to funny, giving God the praise for all sorts of things that happen points people to Him.

Thursday, July 31: Romans 8:38-39

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Romans 8:38-39 NLT

In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel

in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.

Psalm 139:16b NIV

From 2023…

To think this awesome God watches me every day!  The words just ahead of this are "your eyes saw my unformed body."  That tells me even before I was born in that humble stucco home in Hawarden, He knew me.   As a toddler, He saw me fall into a water tank, and sent my cousin to save my life.  He watched with glee as I knelt and prayed to accept Jesus as my Savior and Lor

Jesus answered,

In Memory Of: 2024… 

In memory of Lois Schempp and Marge Smith: throughout my adult life, being involved with a group of Christian friends praying about situations together has been a spiritually growing and joyful time, as we've seen God working and a
