How it All Started…His Story of The Planet, Part 1

Posted on January 10, 2026 by kathy

The Bible admonishes the human race to “get wisdom” and understanding. Are you a seeker of wisdom? You ought to be. It’s important…and God has plenty He wishes to impart to you. But we must study His word, the bible, to get that wisdom.

Proverbs 4:7 says“Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” Love wisdom and she will keep you. That means having wisdom will guard and protect you. It will give you understanding. It will light the path you are meant to walk on, the path God has for you.

Thinking Like God Thinks

Posted on January 10, 2026 by kathy

If the word of God is the absolute truth regarding all things (and it is), it behooves us to fervently study, to be assured, and wholeheartedly comprehend the things the Bible tells us. Because the word of God promises to fulfill itself, we are instructed to keep it “in our mouth” in order to have good success. That’s what Joshua was told in Joshua 1:8 before he went to war to get his Promised Land inheritance. But what does that really mean?

I believe it means that when God declares something to us, He desires that we agree with it. When He says we can do something, we should agree with it. When He says we are something, we agree with it, rather than how we “feel” at any given moment. Essentially, we give our consent to what He says. God is always right!

Bringing All Things Into Order

Posted on December 22, 2025 by kathy

Creator of the Universe and creator of my life and my purpose,…You are God.

Look up and ponder…can the One who put the stars in place, the One Who called for unchangeable, dependable seasons, days and nights, not put your life in order? Can not the One who created your body to heal itself and to function in the many myriad of processes that make the human body do what it does, give you understanding for what you need to know? See how orderly the universe is. He has placed you here in this orderly cosmos for a purpose. You are not a random thing. Your life is not unplanned or casual to our Creator God.

His word declares that His plan is to “sum up all things in Christ.” Ephesians 1:10 ”…that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He (God) might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him. (NKJV)

The Government of God

Posted on September 29, 2025 by kathy

When Jesus walked the earth in human flesh and blood form, he taught the people how the kingdom, or the government of Heaven operated. He showed the people what the government was like and the principles it operated on. It was not like any “kingdoms” or governments here on earth. It was not at all like the way corrupted, sinful men operate. He said weird things like, do good and bless your enemy, pray for him, and other things foreign to our way of thinking. Everything he taught about the government of Heaven is unlike anything man does here on the earth. It is difficult for some people to accept. We don’t want to bless those who persecute us. We don’t want to pray for our enemies. We don’t feel like it. But this is how the government of Heaven operates. It behooves us as believers to do these things. When we do them, we reveal Heaven, which is the coming government, to those around us.

A Tale of Two Prophets

A Tale of Two Prophets

In addition to writing the Dogtags and Pearls series of mini bible lessons, I have also authored three children’s books. One of them is called A Tale of Two Prophets and is based on the story from 1 Kings 13. I also illustrated the book.

Declaring the End from the Beginning

Posted on September 6, 2025 by kathy

Isaiah 46:9-10 “Remember the former things of old, For I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like Me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure,”

God’s pattern of declaring the end from the beginning is to show mankind what His plans are so that they can exercise faith and prayer for it. We see this pattern in the Old Testament over and over in the lives of God’s people.

The Loss of Covenant

Posted on August 20, 2025 by kathy

The loss of covenant and faithfulness in our society

In a modern society such as ours, there are many things the anti-God people seek to do away with. Foundational, stabilizing principles such as marriage, raising families, working hard to take care of a family, have all come under intense pressure in our modern times. Legislation from the ungodly seeks to change the traditions, values, and even the meaning of words. The word covenant is a word that is not used in our times, although we do still use the words promise and guarantee, which are synonymous with the word covenant.

Our Romantic God

Posted on July 23, 2025 by kathy

As believers, we may express our deep love for God through praise and worship, through prayer and spending time meditating on His marvelous character. As we love on Him, we should also be experiencing His love back to us in all sorts of tangible ways. This week during worship time at our weekly service, the words of a song inspired me to look up a verse in the scriptures which took me to the Song of Solomon chapter 4. 

The Song of Solomon was written by a man who was credited with having 700 wives and concubines. The book is a book of romance and desire between a King and the Shulamite woman, but it’s not just that. I believe it is also a picture of our Bridegroom-King’s love back to us! There’s just not enough romance in life, is there? We need more of it! I need more of it!

…And So Ends Our Time on Earth Together

Posted on July 5, 2025 by kathy

A tribute to my brother

My brother passed away last weekend on Sunday morning…he just slipped away in the night without saying good bye to any of us. I had told myself it could happen at any time since he had underlying health issues with his heart. He had had some mini strokes, the doctor said. His future was heading towards having a scope run down his lungs to sample a tumor, with possible followup of chemo and radiation….not the most fun in the world. He had already been through a lot. He had earlier gone through a round of radiation treatments for another lung “spot” diagnosed as some kind of cancer. He had gone through an intensive time of healing of an injury on his leg that occurred the day after Christmas. In the hospital, out of the hospital, back in…therapy, etc., etc. But the leg seemed to be finally on the mend with pictures texted to us of increasing healing after they had removed part of the tendon that was showing. Everything seemed to be on the upswing.

Two Groups Stood at the Jordan River

Posted on July 3, 2025 by kathy

Hebrews 3:15 “Today, if  you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

At two different times in Israel’s history, two groups stood at the banks of the Jordan river facing the west. Both groups had the exact same promise from God. Forty years of time separated the groups. Both were Hebrews. But each group possessed different attitudes about the promise God had given them. The promise was that the land on the other side of the Jordan belonged to them. God was giving it to them.

Of the first group God had this to say…1 Corinthians 10:1-11 “Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. But with most of them God was not well pleased, for their bodies were scattered in the wilderness.
