in*ef*fa*bleincapable of being expressed or described; unspeakable; unutterable I like words. I came across this word again listening to a Beth Moore audio series on the names of God. Jews refer to the tetragrammaton, (the four letter name of God – YHVH) as “the ineffable name.” The Old Testament Jews would not speak or write… Read More Good Words: Ineffable
In those beautiful days of spring and summer, James would lead his daughter to a little arbour from whence could be heard the morning song of the feathered tribes, and from whence could be seen the whole of the garden, enamelled with flowers and sparkling with dew – – the range of vision taking in… Read More My Humble Garden – His Meaning Therein
…is the title of a chapter in a book that I’ve referred to before called Bold Love, by Dan Allender. It has helped me to better understand relationships , especially difficult ones.

Things like, Caryl Talley stopping by my home in Stillwater with $200 to give me for “my ministry of hospitality”, or Deborah Green taking me to the Wooden Nickel to buy… Read More Call to Give – Call to Receive
Well, not my first concert, but the first one that our kids have ever been to. I think the last Christian concert I attended was in 1995! It was The Newsboys with Audio Adrenaline in Austin, TX. Robert and I took the youth from our church, and all I remember was having to sit in… Read More First Concert
As I prepared my “Life Lesson” for the Lady Wisdom Aspect in my 5 Aspects of Woman Course, I came across this quote about Harriet Beecher Stowe: (I was making a poster about her and how she demonstrated the Lady Wisdom Aspect) “In theory Harriet agreed with Catherine (her sister) that there was no nobler… Read More Noble, yet tiring
