I worked very hard in my career, I sacrificed a lot for it. I worked for the integrity of the product, the company, and my boss. Oh, did I grumble! Now I’ve finally figured out my boss is Jesus. I work for him. It is infinitely more rewarding.

Philippians 2:14-15 - 


Do all things without grumbling or disputing, that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world,

Sometimes great grief washes over me because I never had children. What am I living for anyway? Then I turn to God and he kindly reminds me he has other uses for me.

 Isaiah 54:1 (ESV)


“Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married,” says the Lord.

Always in peril of kindling my own fire, I’ve lapsed again posting my blog. My spirit for “Vine and Branch” has been refreshed by one of God’s lights in my life, Joanne Kemp. She always relies on God, and not on her own strength. Happy Birthday, Joanne. I love you.


 Isaiah 50:10-11

Who among you fears the Lord

  and obeys the voice of his servant? 

Let him who walks in darkness

 and has no light 

trust in the name of the Lord

 and rely on his God.


Behold, all you who kindle a fire,

 who equip yourselves with burning torches!

Walk by the light of your fire,

 and by the torches that you have kindled!

This you have from my hand:

 you shall lie down in torment.
