Oh, what a lesson the Lord has taught me this morning. I have been so blind to a gift He’s been giving me because it wasn’t wrapped as I expected it to be. I haven’t recognized an answer to prayer because the answer was not as I imagined. For some time I’ve been asking the […]

Our son Sam was asked to play the Christ child in the Christmas program years ago. Most scholars believe that the wise men came later, when Mary and Joseph were in a home and Jesus was a toddler, so the church decided to depict it that way. The scene was simple – rough wooden walls, a […]

It’s a story I’ve used over and over again – especially when speaking on holiness. It’s a familiar story told by Amy Carmichael about her visit to a goldsmith as he was refining gold. The story gives such a clear picture of God’s work of refining in our own lives, but I especially love the […]

I never really liked my name. Esther certainly wasn’t one of the popular names when I was younger – it still isn’t now that I’m older. It didn’t have a neat nickname, or a catchy shortened version. But it’s a name that my father loved, and so I’m Esther by his choice I don’t know […]

I’m at the Sparrow’s Nest. Not the one mentioned in Psalm 84 tucked among the poles that supported the tabernacle, but the one located at Delta Lake Bible Conference Center in Rome, NY. Not the sparrow’s nest that is the basis for this blog and my radio blog, but the Sparrow’s Nest that is now […]
