Lamp light I find it all so beautiful. I named my blog By The Lamp Light umpteen years ago when I started corralling my words in one fixed place verses little scraps of paper that I’d be impressed to scratch out in the wee morning hours and were constantly overflowing my nightstand drawer. The Light of the world leads us in dark times. As a community of faith, and country founded on faith, we have experienced some dark times and I find myself waiting for, calling on, and seeking ...

Scripture Memory Team – 2021 – Verse 10
Happy October 1st and Happy Scripture Memory Team Day, friends! Most of you know that I'm a member of the Dwell monthly memorization tool kit.

Though I've been at the keyboard all day, I *have* to share the story of the day before my writing deadline. From the time I walked into my office this morning to put the finishing touches on a devotional that is due tomorrow, the thought wouldn't let go of me that something wasn't right with what I'd written. Not exactly the feeling you want the day before it's due. I suddenly could see myself as Snoopy starting over with: " It was a dark and stormy night..." I did what any writer ...
