Recital 2015

Has it been two years since my last big spring recital? So many memories flashed through my mind this week as I prepared for my first recital after relocating. I am so very, very thankful that the Lord allowed me to pick up teaching again after moving! While I miss my 30+ students in Louisiana, God has given me such a wonderful, gifted group of students here -- it is a joy to work with them! I am so looking forward to where the Lord will lead each of them in their musical talent.

One of my hi...

Psalm 119:21-24

Psalm 119:21-24(21)  Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.
Those who err (stray, mistake, transgress) from God's Word are not left unpunished. This standard was given at the very beginning of the law. We see the choice to follow God's law given to Adam, but he chose to err. Again and again, we see examples in Scripture, warning us to follow God's laws.  "But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God,...

Coffee Cake Days - blog tour and party

Wow! God is so good! When it came around to the completion of "Coffee Cake Days," I prayed about doing something a little different -- a little bigger. That "different, bigger" thing ended up being a blog tour (where different bloggers will read and review "Coffee Cake Days") and a FaceBook party. For something very last minute, I emailed several of my blogger friends with great apprehension, praying that, if this was indeed God's will, He would work it all out. One by one, the days were...

Psalm 119:17-20

Psalm 119:17-20(17)  Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.
Why do we want God to deal bountifully with us? Honestly? We like to live a successful life; we like to be at ease, in comfort. But why? So we can live how we want to.
But what is the Psalmist's motive for asking for God's bountiful dealings? To the end that he could live to keep God's Word.
It is interesting to compare this with a couple Proverbs:"He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart...

The Second Serving of Coffee Cake

Tonight I am working on "Coffee Cake Days" - at least trying to get a few paragraphs jotted down tonight.
Here are two passages that have influenced the lesson in "Coffee Cake Days:"
"And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place. But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves...

Word Wednesday #54

"And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." Micah 4:2

This is the attitude we should embrace when going to church: we make the effort to go, expecting to be taught of God's ways, willing to walk as we have been taught.
