“And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (Matthew 3:2 KJV) My dentist is a Christian. We have a sweet time of fellowship each time I have an appointment. Due to COVID-19, his office staff takes extra precautions of safety. You have to sit outside in the parking lot in your car and wait for a phone call to notify you to go into the building and up the elevator to their office for your appointment. You [...]

“But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains: And let him that is on the housetop not go down into the house, neither enter therein, to take any thing out of his house:  And let him that is in the field not turn back again for to take up his garment. But woe to [...]

“This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Timothy 2:3-5 KJV) I was out of makeup. The specialty store where I usually buy my cosmetics was closed due to COVID-19. But you could place online orders. When I looked online, the makeup that I use had changed. I had some questions about the changes, so [...]

“For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.” (Isaiah 41:13 KJV)  The young woman behind the cashier area was wearing a black mask. I placed my grocery items on the counter. Lord, please help me tell her about You. I looked at her nametag. Her name meant “sweet.” “Is that your name or nickname?” “It’s my real name,” she said, smiling. I chuckled. “Everyone gets a taste of your personality when they [...]

“Praising God, and having favour with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved.” (Acts 2:47 KJV)  A year ago, the yard needed to be worked on. The Hispanic man who came to work on it did excellent work. I had the opportunity to pray with him and he believed in Jesus. We invited him inside and listened to his stories while we had lunch together. About six months later, we needed [...]

“But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.” (Matthew 13:23 KJV) Gardening our own vegetables and herbs is a lot of fun and work. My husband has a very good hand for this. Every plant he works on grows its fruit in abundance. This is God's blessing. A couple of hours on the weekends of gardening [...]

“And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.” (1 John 5:20 KJV) She was young and beautiful. Her long black hair flowed around her olive skin and past her waist. I looked at her nametag. “You have a very important name, Elizabeth.” She looked into my eyes and smiled. Her eyes were dark brown. [...]

“For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.” (1 Corinthians 8:5–6 KJV) The young foreign man looked Asian. As we approached the counter, I was thinking, What do I say to him about You, Jesus? He is not ready to believe, but I have [...]

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. (2 Corinthians 5:17 KJV) A slim man who was a foreigner was helping us with our groceries. Too many customers were behind us. Things were moving fast. I had to say something quickly. “What do you know about God?” I asked. “Ahh, I don’t talk about that,” he said. “Well, maybe you don’t, but I do. Have [...]

“And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.” (John 4:37 KJV) From his nametag, I saw he had a Muslim name. How would  I tell him about Jesus? I knew he was not ready to believe, but I had to tell him about the Son of God.  He was wearing a mask. I looked into his eyes. “What do you think of all this that is happening?”  His eyes looked dark and heavy. “I just follow the [...]
