Who Do I Thank For My Troubles
“Day 22—I’m thankful for…” We’re a little early with Thanksgiving greetings, but I’m inspired by all those thankful folks on Facebook! They absolutely put me to shame with their consistency and stick-tuitive-ness. I have a hard time remembering to take my vitamins every day, let alone maintaining a thankful heart every day leading up to … Read More

Everybody’s Got A Snag
If you’ve been following my Facebook escapades, you know I’ve recently spent some time at a mountain cabin belonging to some friends. Which mountain? Snag Mountain. Never heard of it?

Who Was Pharaoh’s Daughter
When faced with a question not specifically answered in a single verse of the Bible or a few simple Scriptures, I often turn to scholarly answers in Bible dictionaries and/or Bible encyclopedias. Easton’s Bible Dictionary is one of my favorites, and it describes three distinct Pharaoh’s Daughters: the woman who adopted Moses (who Josephus calls, … Read More

What I Love About the 10 Commandment Movie–Part 1
I LOVE the 1956 movie, The Ten Commandments, directed by Cecil B. DeMille and starring Charlton Heston, Yul Brynner, and Anne Baxter! Seriously, one of my all-time favorite flix. But I’ve always wondered if it REALLY represented Egypt–historically, biblically, truthfully. Or is it purely good cinema? The Good News Is: A lot of that beloved film … Read More

Who Delivered Israel—Joseph or Moses?
When you think of the word deliver, do you envision being delivered TO or delivered FROM? Is a newborn delivered from the womb or into the world?
