My family and I struggled with the first year of celebrations, special days, and birthdays. Our granddaughters, daughter and my husband and I thought carefully of how to move through that year without our son, brother, and uncle. The loss of Joshua hit us hard, to say the least, but we were determined to work […]

“But whosoever drinks of the water that I shall give him, shall never be more a thirst: but the water that I shall give him, shall be in him a well of water, springing up into everlasting life” (John 4:14 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, You loved so deeply that You gave us this gift of Your […]

What if you were in the house when your child shot himself there? What if you held him as his heartbeat stilled? What if Satan said in your ear, “Now where is Your God?” This is a memoir about the loss of my son, Joshua, when he was twenty-five. It is an honest account of […]

“For he [Christ] whom God hath sent, speaketh the words of God: for God giueth [gives] him not the Spirit by measure [immeasurable]” (John 3:34 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, Jesus has all at His request from You. He is denied nothing. Help us to better understand the power of You and Your Son as we pray. In Christ’s holy name […]

“Then there arose a question between John’s disciples and the Jews, about purifying. And they came unto John, and said unto him, ‘Rabbi, he that was with thee beyond Jorden, to whom thou barest witness, behold, he baptizes, and all men come to him’” (John 3:25, 26 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, some of us have heard […]

“John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim, because water was plentiful there, and people were coming and being baptized (for John had not yet been put in prison)” (John 3:23, 24 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, You make it plain here that when one is baptized it is a dunking into the water. Thank You for […]

“After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he remained there with them and was baptizing” (John 3:22 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, Your Son is God come down from heaven to take away the sins of those who believe and trust in You. In Christ’s holy name we are joyful. Hallelujah~

“For no man ascended up to heaven, but he that hath descended from heaven, that Son of man [Christ] which is in heaven. And as Moses lift up the serpent in the wilderness, so must that Son of man be lift up, That whosoever believeth in him, should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:13-15 [1587 Geneva Version]).  Father, […]

“Nicodemus said unto him, ‘How can a man be born which is old? can he enter into his mothers womb again, and be born? Jesus answered, ‘Verily, verily I say unto thee, except that a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born […]

“There was now a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. This man came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, ‘Rabbi, we know ye thou art a teacher come from God: for no man could do these miracles that thou doest, except God were with him.’ Jesus answered, & said unto […]
