Dear Friends,
“Be care-full for nothing, BUT in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known unto God…” (Phil. 4:6)
The Amplified version amplifies the truth here just a little more: “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, BUT in every circumstance and in everything by PRAYER and [...]

Dear Friends,
There are several words in the Greek language that are translated with our English word “care,” or “careful.” Some of them do mean to be thoughtful or mindful, or an object of affectionate care.
However, in Paul’s instruction to the Church at Philippi to “Be careful for nothing,” it is obvious that he means what [...]

Dear Friends,
There are few words in our language that are abused as much as the word Love. It is too often thought of as merely an emotion and sometimes it is, sadly, only a passing emotion. In the entertainment industry it is often nothing more than sexual infatuation. A person may appear [...]

Dear Friends,
This is a letter I wrote about 6 years ago when I was in the midst of canning cherries. This year, it’s saskatoons, and the message is just as relevant.
For my readers who may not be familiar with this fruit, the dictionary definition of saskatoons is: “A shadbush of western North America, having thick [...]

However, there are occasions…as we recently experienced, with winds up to 134 kms. (83 miles) per hour. Funnel clouds were seen in the darkened Western sky but, fortunately, none of them actually [...]

Dear Ones,
I was speaking with my daughter on the phone recently when the line went dead! A little later I tried to call her back, but had no dial tone. Then I tried on the new cell phone with which I wasn’t very familiar, and I didn’t know whether the lack of success in getting [...]

Greetings,
I do believe that when “the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed…to dress it and keep it,” in His wisdom He knew that, in the midst of growing things, we could learn the most profound lessons of life. (Gen. 2:8)
Yes! It is that [...]

Dear Friends,
There is a little space between the back of our house and the tree covered hill which slopes away toward a valley on the North. The fresh green leaves of the aspens whisper their praises in the light breeze, and the beauty of a mature clump of white birch continues to delight us. Occasionally, [...]

Greetings!
Lilies! Who has not delighted in the magnificent fragrance of a lily? After another spate of wintry snow, Spring has arrived – a little later than usual – and with it the Spring lilies. Last week some friends came to visit, bringing with them a beautiful deep rose-colored Oriental Lily. It is filling the room [...]

Blessings,
We have recently had occasion to think again about what are referred to as the “natural laws” of the universe. When Almighty God created the Universe, he set within it certain laws that are irrefutable.
One which governs everything on the earth, and with which we are all well acquainted, is the law of gravitation – [...]
