The Names of God


We are about to start a names of God study in Sunday school, and it reminded me of a poem I wrote many years ago.

The Names of God

Molder, Creator - Maker of all things.
Goodness and mercy to all He brings. 

Abba, Father - Child of God. 
Hold my hand through life's facade. 

Friend, Brother - Always listens to my woe, 
Takes his sword to kill my foe. 

Shepherd, Lamb - carer of sheep,
Gude me through the water deep.

Bearer of the Cross - forgiver of sins,
Salvation, on my repentance depends

Saviour, Redeemer - lifter of hearts, 
Shelter and keep me from the world, set apart. 

Awesome, Almighty - God of all things, 
Glory and honor and praises I'll sing. 

What names of God have you studied or reflected on recently? This is a never ending poem, what lines would you add?

42 Questions To Ask Your Spouse On Valentine's Day

My husband and I are going to a couple's retreat next month and decided to get a head start on it by brushing up on our newlywed gameshow questions. We actually did pretty well the first time through, but we keep giving each other pop quizzes to keep the answers fresh in our minds.

Mom Rules

Being a mom has a whole lot more to do with life than changing poopy diapers, nursing, schooling, dressing, and disciplining. It's when you change that diaper or where you nurse your baby, how you go about schooling and why and how you discipline. I've made a short 3 point list of rules every mom (or parent) should have. It's short and easy to remember so you can quickly think through the questions when parenting. Rule 1 - The Golden Rule Matthew 7:12 "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the law and prophets." Treat your children as if they are a person, a real person who understand, cares, feels, and dreams. They are not your minions, your slaves, or even yours at all for that matter. They belong to the Lord and they are yours to nurture, love, and teach. They have a soul, and feelings. When debating if you have time to change their diaper, or heat up their lunch, or grab that pair of mittens… remember they have fe
