Having a Plan Helped Me Read the Bible and Come to Love God More

July 14, 2010 by dcamomile

Having a Plan Helped Me Some people make a decision to read the Bible straight through start to finish—and they do. They follow through exactly as they intended. (These are probably the same people that exercise every day, consistently, and never overspend their money.) Personally, I need some sort of a plan. If not, I end up bouncing around. I want to read first over here, then there, then I don’t know where I am, and I quit for longer than is good for me. All this, for the want of a plan. Years ago, I found The Best …

Scripture on Scripture – Its Importance

July 12, 2010 by dcamomile

The Importance of Reading the Bible The Bible is one of God’s main provisions and intents for us to know Him. The Bible is also, God’s main provisions for us to live well and live fully. Therefore, reading the Bible in its entirety should be vitally important to us. But it can be a struggle – at first – to do so. This can be expected for at least two reasons. One, God tells us that His ways are hugely different than our ways and two, the Bible packs a lot into a small space. It sure is thrilling …

Practicing, Trying, and Growing!

July 8, 2010 by dcamomile

I did it! This is good news. With some coaching help from friends – I found, re-sized, titled, and added this froggy picture to my blog “all by myself.” I am getting better with technology. By experimenting and practicing, I am improving and growing. If I can learn technology – anybody I can. And if we can learn about technology, then we can grow and learn about God and His truths. Learn, discover, practice, try! There is so much I want to grow in, in my walk with God. There are so many things I want to share with you through this website. It’s nice to know there’s hope. Let’s remember one other important point. Let’s be careful not …

That’s Wicked?…

July 1, 2010 by dcamomile

This is from Psalm 36. The wicked are full of evil, sinfulness, and unrighteousness. The wicked person: – has no fear of God – flatters himself so that he can not detect or hate his own sin. He thinks, “I’m fine.” – his words say one thing, one time, and something different later, if it suits him – his actions are different than his words – has ceased to be wise and do good – on his bed he plots evil and lets his mind run amuck – thinking thoughts filled with anger and his own righteousness – never seeking what is truly right But God …

Do You Want God’s Help?

June 30, 2010 by dcamomile

Do You Want God’s Help? There have been many times in my life where I have wanted and needed God’s help, but I kept doing the same things, over and over again, trying to affect change. Then I wondered where God was and why He wasn’t doing anything. I wondered why He wasn’t blessing my efforts. Slowly, (and maybe miraculously) I am learning how to turn my problems over to God. I’m learning how to do my part, and then get out of God’s way so that He can do His work. Do you have problems in your life and …

Ways to Hope and Grieve When a Loved One Dies

June 6, 2010 by dcamomile

The death of a loved one, like my brother-in-law, Jay, is so hard to face and to understand. We want to cry out, “it’s not fair.” We look at young family members loosing a parent and we want to ask, “Why?” We’re filled with grief. We feel like it makes no sense. The death of a loved one who is still young, especially, leaves us unsteady and unsure about what God is up to. But we know these things. Death gets our eyes off this world and makes us consider, what’s next? Our suffering makes us consider God. It makes …
