Practical Grammar: Fewer vs. Less

Practical Grammar: Fewer vs. Less

One of my biggest grammar pet peeves is misuse of the words fewer and less. This error seems to have become an epidemic because I hear it everywhere. It typically occurs when someone uses the word less when he or she should use the word fewer. Knowing which word to...
Pressure Washing Wasps

Pressure Washing Wasps

I’m not a fan of yard work, but I do enjoy pressure washing my house. I have white siding, and a couple of times a year it needs a good cleaning. I enjoy watching the pressurized water disintegrate the grime, leaving a path of clean white-as-snow siding wherever I...
Holy VIN

Holy VIN

We often pray for God’s protection when we perceive a threat. Health scares, financial shortfalls, and heartache can send us to our knees, begging for God’s intervention. Knowing we can call on Him and depend on His presence and strength is a comfort. His peace in...
A Seashell Testifies

A Seashell Testifies

When I lived in Alaska with its mountains, glaciers, wildlife, and northern lights, I believed anyone who doubted the existence of God only needed to come to the Great Alone. The awe-inspiring natural beauty there is humbling, giving credence to the Apostle Paul’s...

Angels and Escalators

Israel: The Garden of Gethsemane and the Garden Tomb

The Garden of Gethsemane is the place where Jesus prayed three times asking God to “let this cup pass” from Him (Matthew 26:39). Each time, Jesus followed His plea with a request for His Father’s will to be done. While we weren’t allowed to step into the garden,...
Israel:  Mount Carmel and the Kishon Valley

Israel: Mount Carmel and the Kishon Valley

Mount Carmel, the very place where Elijah displayed God’s power to the prophets of Baal, is where I stood. The story is told in 1 Kings 18:16-45. Approximately three years prior to the showdown, Elijah had met with King Ahab to deliver a message from God, whose anger...
Israel:  The Sea of Galilee

Israel: The Sea of Galilee

When I first laid eyes on the sparkling blue Sea of Galilee, I was amazed at how beautiful it is. This body of water is actually a freshwater lake with a circumference of 33 miles and an area of 64 square miles. This is the same sea Jesus walked on and stilled with a...
