Focus!

Posted on October 21, 2014 by suemariericker

I suppose the “up-side” to doing embarrassing things is that they give me things to write about in my blog. I learn things in a “hands-on” sort of way, but I would prefer relegating that aspect of my personality to … Continue reading →

All Things…!

Posted on August 12, 2014 by suemariericker

I have had easier weeks – easier than the past couple of them, I should say.  My daughter was in a motorcycle accident and her body is broken but she is alive, and for that I am remarkably grateful—and there … Continue reading →

Posted on July 26, 2014 by suemariericker

I have been thinking about that lately, the statement “I am a Christian” and the responses to it in this nation and worldwide.  I think there was a time when those words were not as potentially volatile as they are … Continue reading →

Random Thoughts about Freedom and Free Things

Posted on July 7, 2014 by suemariericker

Afraid of Grace!

Posted on June 25, 2014 by suemariericker

I’ve been thinking about a couple of things I wrote in my last post, which I don’t want to correct, per se; rather, I want to expand those thoughts.  I made a comment that Satan   and his cohorts don’t show … Continue reading →

Spiritual Abduction

Posted on June 20, 2014 by suemariericker

Our pastor is teaching a series through the book of Colossians and the verses he spoke on this past Sunday highlighted in my heart the insidiousness of errant teachings and beliefs.  I can’t explain why, when I read the phrase, … Continue reading →

Sometimes I Just Don’t Get It!

Posted on June 13, 2014 by suemariericker

I was brought up in one of those “Jesus + ….. = Salvation” churches, and lest you consider any one particular denomination maintaining a corner on that market – they do not!  A phrase echoes in my heart from a … Continue reading →

Called By God

Posted on June 6, 2014 by suemariericker

It is incredibly amazing that, in Jesus, there are no “less than” or “greater than” believers, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in … Continue reading →

Free Indeed!

Posted on May 2, 2014 by suemariericker

I admit it – I love British TV shows, particularly British mysteries!  I can’t defend my interest, and the only explanation I can come up with is my family heritage.  Not an excuse, it is just to let you know … Continue reading →

Cultivating Life

Posted on March 5, 2014 by suemariericker
