If you spill a teaspoon of instant coffee, it becomes a half-pound on the floor. I should know, because this is how I began my morning. Who knew that one small teaspoon could cover ten square feet? Of course, I had to spill it beside the cabinet, so the granules scattered and stuck to every […]

I Peter 1:1-6 Peter wrote a message of hope and security to the Christians who were scattered throughout the known world. Read it for yourself, because it is written to us as well.

Psalm 28 Crisis brings out the best and worst in us! Have you seen the news lately (silly question)? What about the reports of people who purposely contaminate food and supplies? Then there are the hoarders and price gougers. Behaviors are surfacing that are destructive and deviant. While many people are working diligently to solve […]

Five Truths King David Knew — GraceSpeak

It’s been about ten days since we in the UK went into lockdown.

By Monday I was getting pretty bored and found myself playing candy crush on Facebook.

On the plus side I have been able to do some video calls on Facebook, so much so I was on video chat for two and a half hours

Timely Quote from Max Lucado — GraceSpeak

It’s finally here folks! We’re all in lockdown in the UK thanks to the idiots that never needed the government’s advice to self distance and went to markets, beaches at the weekend.

Even today they were seen one crowded escalator going out of a tube station.

Thanks to you guys I won’t be able to see my daughter or granddaughter for 3weeks, nor will I be able to see my 86yr old mother who hasn’t yet received her mother’s Day gift because she is voluntary self isolating for another week as she flew back from Cyprus last week

We are only allowed outdoors for exercise, shopping and for those that cannot work from home.

We do not walk around in this world as Pollyannas, ignoring the evil and attempting to gloss over the pain with positive thinking and cute sayings. No. Real problems exist. People are hurting. Evil is on a rampage. Truth lies buried and sorrow ravages. Disease has disrupted our lives. Even the locusts are on the […]
