The Waiting Room

October 20, 2013 By Verna Bowman 10 Comments

We’ve all been there . . . we’ve all been in some kind of waiting place. As I write, I’m sitting among the impatient, the hopeless, the worried, and those nervously chattering and pacing in order to do  . . . something. I’m sitting in a waiting room. I’ve spent too much time in hospital waiting rooms due to health challenges … [Read more...]

Simply Pray

August 22, 2013 By Verna Bowman 6 Comments

I love to hear children pray.  Honest language, believing in a Father that will answer. I've learned three things about prayer from children: Keep it simple.  Believe.  Keep it sweet. Prayer is simply talking with God.  No old English, no flair, no formula. It seems too good to be true that we can have access to the God of … [Read more...]

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