I blog
because I want to share my passion for God and His Word, the Bible. That same
passion led me to write children’s books because I want my grandchildren to
know and love God and His Word. I currently have four self-published picture
story books, with the fifth one to be released within weeks. You can read a
little more about that in my bio. [If interested in order info, please contact me through email or Facebook]
I’ve
also written a few Bible studies that have been used in a small group in my
home church. None have been published but I hope that will change soon.
SO what’s so great about God’s Word?
Of the Word of God, King David said, “Thy
Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” Psalm 119:105.
The Apostle Paul remarked, “The Word of God is quick (living) and
powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division
of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts
and intents of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12.
Knowledge
of the above scriptures, that some of us have known much of our lives, should
be enough to compel us to faithfully and diligently read, study, know and live
the Word of God. After all, your/my Bible
is the representation of Jesus that we can literally hold in our hands, press
to our hearts, and see with our earthly eyes. What’s not to love? What’s not to
desire?
What to expect from this BLOG ---
God’s Word – Our Destiny will
be more than extoling accolades of Scripture. Though we can’t say enough of its
value.
I’ll
blog about LIFE. You know --- family, personal experiences, personal
relationships, Bible, church, Bible study, travel, cooking, and so on. [I must
include cooking! I love to cook and am a diehard foodie. AND I’ll include
recipes from time to time.]
Speaking
of time, I know yours is valuable so I’ll try hard not to bore you. If you
think you can enjoy and even benefit from this blog I hope you’ll sign up and
follow. If you have comments, I’d love to hear them. Even if their “constructive,”
I want to know. Do be kind and of course be honest.
And
did I tell you I’m a poet? I’ll close with a poem and pray you’ll be blessed as you
read:
Beyond
Myself
Beyond
myself - God's Word is true.
He
teaches me my whole life through.
Though
life brings trials, toils, and snares,
Beyond
myself, I cast my cares.
I
say, "But human's all I am"
He
says, "You're more than just a man."
I
have excuses for my short comings.
He
says, "With Me, you quit your slumming."
Mediocrity
has been my ride.
"Just
get by." has been my pride.
But
Jesus said to come up higher.
“My
plan for you -- your heart's desire.”
"But,
Jesus, how can I do so?
I'm
only human, that you know.
My
weaknesses, my faults, my doubts!
Go
figure, Lord, what I'm about!"
"Am
I a man that I should lie?
My
Word is Truth, so don't be shy.
I
shed my blood that you could be
Beyond
yourself and be set free!"
