Hind’s Feet on High Places

"He makes my feet like the feet of a deer; he causes me to stand on the heights." --Psalm 18:33 I love these rock formations in central Wisconsin.

They've become a sort of landmark … Continue reading Hind’s Feet on High Places →

Look at the Lilies

"Consider how the lilies of the field grow: They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was adorned like one of these. . ." Matthew 6:28,29I must not be doing enough of something. Or I must be doing too much of something else. Surely this … Continue reading Look at the Lilies →
