These are moments when little experiences of life capture my attention or imagination. These are my Flash Reflections!
Yesterday, I wanted to see what it was like to be a Couch Potato. Today, I am reminded: God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same…
Yesterday, I was joyful with a spring in my step as I walked to the car after church had met. The sun was warm as it briefly blazed through the ever moving cloud cover. But each time, as it was squeezed out, the chill returned swiftly. The press of the remote and the expected mechanical…
Don’t you just love having a day off – a day of ‘rest’. Stay at home. It’s quiet and a great time to jump on the computer, Facebook a bit, read the Bible and blog. All was going well, until the power failed! Not only did I lose what I was typing, but the the…
