Reflections Causing Gratitude

November 26, 2019

I recently went to a prayer vigil at my church. It was simply a day set aside to reflect on our relationship with God a few days before the official Thanksgiving/Christmas holiday starts. You could come and go as you pleased, but there were stations in separate parts of the sanctuary to facilitate reflections and…

Seven Things Jesus’ Resurrection Means to Us Single Christians

April 23, 2019

Yes, we just celebrated Easter last weekend. I understand that Jesus rose from the dead, conquered death and hell and all that (whatever “all that” means). All that happened 2000 years ago. Here I am, a single Christian in 2019, trying to live out my life. What does it mean to me, practically, that Jesus…

A Harmony of the Gospels of the Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ

April 16, 2019

If you have never read a harmony of the gospels for Jesus’ burial and resurrection, I compiled one for you. It’s like examining several police reports, or going through the footage of several surveillance cameras to determine the order of events. Read these verses slowly, in order, and watch the events from that decisive…

Single Christian, Give Yourself Some Grace!

January 15, 2019

Can you believe it’s only been a couple of weeks since January 1? Me, either! According to a recent article by Scripps National, at least 75% of Americans planned to either lose weight or save more money in the coming year (https://www.abcactionnews.com/news/national/these-are-the-top-new-years-resolutions-for-2019). Were either of these plans on your priority list of things to accomplish…

Instead of Resolutions, Try This for 2019

January 1, 2019

Happy New Year to my Christian singles! I hope that you had a fun but safe New Year Eve’s celebration. Hopefully, you have recovered and are surveying the freshness of this brand new year, 2019. Did you make any New Years’ resolutions? How are you doing so far this year? I’m doing okay, but it’s…

When Your Life’s Not a Hallmark Movie

December 11, 2018

Years ago, I had a roommate who loved Hallmark movies. I never watch TV; I don’t even own one. I’d never heard of the Hallmark channel before, so I was intrigued. Were these merely televised versions of Harlequin romances? Were they as sappy as they sounded? I sat down to watch a few of them…

The Empty Spot in Your Holiday

December 4, 2018

One of my friends recently had a very close family member pass away unexpectedly. It was especially difficult because the family member had only been back in my friend’s life for a few years. How my heart grieves with her. I thought back to when close family members of mine—in my case, my parents—passed away,…

It’s a Beautiful Way to Live

November 20, 2018

♥I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the wonderful things you have done. Psalms 9:1 GNT “This a wonderful day.
