Looking in the Window: The Greatest Change

Out with the old and in with the new, a popular phrase defined by some as changing the old, leaving the old behind, or moving forward. Change is a big buzz word in our society, but the greatest change that ever has been or will be occurred on Easter when Christ rose from the dead, giving those who believe in Him eternal life, and we don’t even need to pay for it. He did that when he suffered and died for our sins. Matthew 20: 18 – 19, tells us “...They will condemn him to death and will turn him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified…’”

In Matthew 28: 5 – 6, when women came to Jesus’s tomb after his crucifixion, “The angel said to…” them… “‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen…”

On the Third Day He Rose from the Dead!

There’s no power greater than Jesus. He conquered death and lives with us today while the Holy Spirit lives within us. Since we cannot earn eternal life no matter what we do, He asks that we accept His gift. And he asked his disciples to share the Good News. “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” Mark 16: 15.

Wishing everyone a Blessed Easter!

Praise God for His Love, Grace, and Mercy. Sending His Son to die for a sinful world was the ultimate the sacrifice.

Happy Easter to all.

Looking Out the Window: Memories on the Heart

Several weeks ago my husband, Rick, and I ate at a restaurant we frequent fairly regularly. The cute, young waitress who usually waits on us took our orders for burgers and fries. I’ll call her Mandy. As usual Mandy’s smile and bubbly personality brightened our day. We giggled and confessed to her that we shouldn’t eat the fries, but we were going to do it just this once. She joked. “Okay, you’re being bad today.” Not long after we got our food a couple came in and sat in the booth behind us. Mandy walked up to the table with her big grin. “Hi, how are you?” she asked. The man, who had salt and pepper colored hair and a pudgy face, spoke in a harsh tone, “I want the steak.” “Sure, which one would you like?” Mandy asked. “I don’t want you to put it in the microwave. That will make it tough. Do you understand?” Mandy’s lips turned down. “Yes sir, which one do you want to order?” “I want it medium rare. I don’t want blood oozing out of it. I want it cooked right.” “Yes sir, which steak di

I’m happy to share with you a Bible verse and a recipe, and tell you about my newest book! One of my favorite Bible verses is Romans 10:9. “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” I love this verse because it distills down the message of Christianity to its simplest elements. So often people add to the gospel, but it really all comes down to our belief in Jesus’ saving work on the cross. This verse tends to make its way into my writing. It’s in my latest novel, Moonlight and Mystery, when the heroine, Beth attends a carnival at a
