As One devotional-Being uniquely blessed

by LD

Good afternoon everyone, Luke 2:4 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. It is amazing to see the royal treatment that goes on in England with "the Prince and Kate" with all […]

Being Better than Animals

by PH

When distractions become the main thing, we are in trouble. During this holiday season with all the hustle and bustle of sales, gifts, traveling, etc, it is so easy to be distracted. Our mind is busy and our soul is in unrest. We are constantly looking around for just a little more of the distraction […]

After-Thanksgiving Glow

I hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving Day. We are very fortunate to be living in a country that will set aside a day to remember to whom we owe our blessings to…. After all the hustle and bustle of the day itself, I got to spend the quiet morning with the Lord this morning. […]

Happy Thanksgiving! Luke 1:49, 54-for he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.

Calm during the Storm

by PH

Sometimes, I envy my children. No matter how tough life gets for them (how tough can it really be for 7 and 5 year-olds?), as long as their parents, that would be us, are around, everything is fine. I remember when I was their age, there were frequent thunderstorms in S. Korea where I grew […]

Being Bored w/ the World

by PH

One way we know Satan is alive and well is that we have bought into his lies. One of his lies is that what’s holy is boring and dull; what’s deviant is fun and exciting. But nothing could be further from the truth. What’s deviant (evil) is simply what is good that has gone bad. […]

As 1 Devotional: “Cold seasons” and Jesus

by LD

Good morning everyone, Job 9:4–He is wise in heart and mighty in strength—who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?— Think about when you’re in a relationship and you maybe struggling to get along, and you think to yourself, "I don’t deserve this so I’m not apologizing". But then if that person begins to act […]

Catching up to Nature

by PH
