In the Still of a Cornfield

October 4, 2022 By Verna Bowman 11 Comments

The quiet is rare in the midst of an age of distraction, so listen to the noise. When I was a busy mom and homemaker, I was desperate for quiet.  It was then, my prayer closet became the quiet of the cornfields that hugged our home.  But seasons change and now listen to the silence. An age-ago. . . I remember looking out over … [Read more...]

A Thousand Prayers

September 1, 2022 By Verna Bowman 4 Comments

What Then

May 31, 2022 By Verna Bowman 2 Comments

Interesting ~ I came across the following blog piece I wrote five years ago, but it's still now.  Two small words are a big weight on our heart that can stop us in our tracks.  What if or What then? Most of us don’t deal well with the unknown.  There was a time I wanted to see what was up ahead, until I got there.  Now I’m … [Read more...]

His Word – My Hope

Surely I have composed and quieted my soul like a weaned child rests against his mother.
