Wrung Out

August 2, 2022 By Verna Bowman 9 Comments

There are days we can feel like we’re plain wrung out and emotionally drained.  I’ve had a few. What do we do when we feel squeezed out of all joy and vision? I’m old enough to have had one of these antique washers back in the day – many a nail was broken going through the wringer along with the diaper.  I remember holding my … [Read more...]

Smells Like Freedom

July 2, 2022 By Verna Bowman 2 Comments

A few weeks ago, I celebrated a “three score and ten plus” birthday.  What mattered most was seated around the table --- my children and grands. … [Read more...]

Remain

April 8, 2022 By Verna Bowman 6 Comments

As the calendar rips through the holy season of Easter, I camp in the landscape of it all that’s told in the gospels.  In the Bible. We see male followers who gather at the table for a Last Supper, get sleepy in a Garden, and female followers who gather at the foot of the cross – until the end.  That’s where we see a mix of … [Read more...]

His Word – My Hope

Because of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed for His compassions never fail.
