Devotional: There Is A River

Often when I have a very busy week, it leads me to feelings of anxiousness and restlessness.  Such has been the month of February.  We have been in the middle of a big move for our church.


  Last night, my husband arrived home after Community Outreach, working at the new facility and attending the start of a new area church...he shook my hand and said, "Hi, I'm Eric."  Such explains the month. LOL!

  So, in the midst of this busy and crazy time, there has to be a place that we can go to...a place of that will sustain you with strength and nourishment for your soul.

A favorite Psalm I love to read has this verse in it:  
"There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High."

You see, many cities have rivers running through them.  It is a way to "sustain" the city making trade possible with other cities as well as making agriculture possible.

Yet, Jerusalem has no such river.  What sustained Jerusalem?  GOD.  Wow.  What an amazing thought!

What will sustain you?  GOD.  

Whatever circumstance of life you may be in...perhaps a life illness, a ministry move, a job change, infertility, or perhaps just the complex busyness of normal life...go to God.  
HE is the river to sustain you with strength and nourishment for your soul.

Happy 45th Birthday, Eric!

  Happy birthday to my husband, Eric!   He turns 45 today.  I am surprising him with tickets to a Miami Dolphins game in Miami.  I got him tickets one other time years ago when we lived in Reno.  We drove to Oakland to see the Dolphins play the Raiders.  I think this will be a great memory for him and a home game too! Happy birthday, babe!

Recipe: Chicken Parmesan

  Chicken Parmesan This is a delicious recipe from Magnolia Table: Volume 2. 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts  1/4 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. freshly ground black pepper 2 large eggs 1 tsp. garlic salt 1 sleeve (30-40) buttery crackers, crushed 4 oz.
