O worship the King, all glorious above,
O gratefully sing His power and His love;
Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.
O tell of His might, O sing of His grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space,
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is His path on [...]

METHUSELAH
Methuselah ate what he found on his plate,
And never, as people do now,
Did he note the amount of the calorie count;
He ate it because it was chow.
He wasn’t disturbed as at dinner he sat,
Devouring a roast or a pie,
To think it was lacking in granular fat
Or a couple of vitamins shy.
He cheerfully chewed on each [...]

There are two good rules which ought to be written on every heart - never to believe anything bad about anybody unless you positively know it to be true; never to tell even that unless you feel that it is absolutely necessary, and that God is listening. ~Henry VanDyke
But the wisdom from above is first [...]

God’s call is as far above normal life, as spiritual life is above biological life. Certainly there is a resemblance, as between a photo and a place, or a statue and a man. But someone rising to the call and passing from biological life to the spiritual life “would have gone through as big a [...]

My husband and son have been in Malaysia for the last ten days, and I’m very happy to say they’re coming home today!
Harry’s been teaching and counseling at our denomination’s Asia-Pacific missionary retreat. The regional Asian food was less than palatable and they are definitely ready for a good home-cooked dinner. I am more than [...]

To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.
Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
Let the people rejoice!
O come [...]

For the past week, my three sisters and an “adopted” sister have been visiting from Wisconsin and Iowa. It’s the first time three of them have been here, so it was a real gift to have them in my home. Such a wonderful time! We talked, ate, shopped, perused old family pictures, reminisced, watched movies, [...]

A lazy Saturday morning calls for a special breakfast treat, and this is one of my favorites. It’s delicious and really easy. If you’ve already had breakfast, this also makes a great “breakfast for dinner” dish. Dig in!
Fiesta Eggs
For one serving, or for many, you need:
1 6-8 oz. ramekin, generously sprayed with cooking oil
2 eggs

How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
In every condition, in sickness, in health;
In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth;
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As [...]
