Quiet: “free from noise and uproar; making or involving no noise or very little noise; tending to speak very little.” Time: “the measured or measurable period during which an action, process, or condition exists or continues; the point or period… Continue reading Quiet Time
As I was finishing my preparation to teach the Sunday School lesson this morning, something made me stop and think. Today’s lesson was on “David Finds Forgiveness” – the account where Nathan comes to David to confront him about his sin with Bathsheba and the murder of Uriah.

As I sat and pondered things that had taken place in the last several weeks, I was reminded of how temporary our stay is here on earth.

For some reason, each day disappears before I have completed everything on my daily list. But each day I remind myself with the song below: He has… Continue reading One Day At a Time
