Son's Love

When picking songs the worship ministry chose RENEWAL as the theme. What a great way to continue with my “White Cycle” thought from last time. No I’m not going to talk about colors again I’m going to talk about “The Rose”.


The lyrics of this 1979 song says, “Just remember in the winter, far beneath the bitter snow, lies the seed that with the sun's love, in the spring becomes the rose.”

Now, I know nothing about farming or horticulture, it is so bad that that the only plants that Butch lets me have at work…are fake. All I have to do is dust them.

But I do understand the process of renewal, that rose needs the snow to be regenerated for next spring. It receives moister from the snow and then life from the sun.

Just like the rose we too need the Son’s love. The S O N Son’s love so we to can be renewed.

Isaiah 40:29-31 ~ He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

He allows us to be renewed, even if we don’t think we need it. Each night our earthly bodies get renewed for all the happenings of tomorrow.

As followers we are being renewed each time we open His word and fellowship with others.

Even though the White Cycle might make us think of being cold and weak. But with the warmth of the Son’s love we are warm and strong.

The White Cycle

Joy Joy Joy…how can we be joyous when all we’ve seen for the last several weeks is white. With all the colors of the rainbow that he Lord provides for us to see…I think we are stuck in the white cycle. I got to thinking about how many different colors of white there are, so I looked online at Sherwin-Williams and Bengamin Moore.   These business specialize in color and boy to they. Sherwin-Williams has 204 and Bengamin Moore has 224 different shades of white. I found it interesting about why they name the colors as they did.   Here are some of my thoughts. Sherwin-Williams Extra White – must have a little extra stuff Nice White – could this one be politer then the others Simple White – is it easier on the eyes Smart White – if I ever get to paint an office I’m using this one, it could make me intelligent Dreamy White & Restful White – will I sleep better if I paint the bedroom with these? Benjamin Moore Timid White – this must be shyer then the other whites Seapearl...

Falling Off the Side

Falling Off the Side Many years ago when I was just a new member of the church, one of the wonderful ladies and I were replacing the tablecloth on the communion table after a rehearsal.   When she laid it on the table she stepped back looking at the cloth and made a simple comment,      “Oops, one of the disciples has fallen off the side!” You see the crocheted cloth that our weekly communion sat upon depicted the Last Supper. When I looked the cloth was longer on one side then the other and one of the twelve was hanging off the longer side.      I replied, “Well, that must be Judas.” We just laughed straighten up the cloth and headed home. I think about that conversation often wondering how many times over the years I've “fallen off the side.” I know its many more times then I care to admit. What can I do to change my disobedience? NOTHING, I'm human and I'm a sinner. I AM A SINNER! (Here is where I wish I wou...

The Wedge Between Us

Matthew 19:6 says “They are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate.” When we were talking about getting married, that cold October night in 1980, we always said that our marriage would be for life and nothing or no one would ever come between us, forgive us, we lied. Not living a Christian lifestyle was very apparent and we never even thought about a relationship with Jesus.   In fact, I can’t remember ever speaking about it until we arrived at our now church home.   We had church hopped for several years, meeting nice people but not seeing growth in our relationship with Christ.   We were just robots, Sunday school & church, Sunday school & church, week after week after week.   Putting in our time, so to speak.   Finally, we started growing closer to Christ but still hadn’t grown as a couple. Yes, happy; Yes, very much still “in love”.   He was the number one in my life and I in hi...
