"Your words have supported those who stumbled; you have strengthened faltering knees." (Job 4: 4) I can remember visiting a young woman in hospital many years ago, who had a foot blown off by a terrorist bomb. She had been holidaying in Tunisia, North Africa and,...
"For .. your life is now hidden with Christ in God." (Colossians 3:3) A perfect day for a mid-morning walk, before the heat of the day settled in like a damp blanket. As my husband rounded the bend, he asked, “Did you see that squirrel?” No, I hadn’t. I peered into...
"I love the house where you live, O Lord, the place where you glory dwells." (Psalm 26 :8) We were hungry as we made the turn at Pebble Beach golf course, so we stopped for some food. The refreshment cart was located a few yards behind number 9 green, so we grabbed a...
