I live in the Midwest and have been married for over thirty years. My husband and I have two adult children. In my walk with God, my views have progressed from always believing in God in general, to believing Jesus is the Son of God as a child, to believing I need Jesus as my Savior as a wife and mom with young children, to finally realizing that Jesus is my all in all–more worthy than anyone and anything in the universe–as a wife and mom of grown children.

Jesus told the church at Laodicea that He is extremely displeased with lukewarm believers and that was what I was for too many years. I attended church, volunteered, donated money and goods and held moral beliefs, but I didn’t read my Bible daily or pray unceasingly. My prayers were mostly about protection of loved ones. I wanted benefits from God more than I wanted God for Himself.

It was very sad, but I didn’t really know it at the time. So my quest is to wake up other lukewarm believers who are like I was, while there’s still time to avoid bitter regret (and no doubt tears) over their lack of love for our Savior. I believe we are in the end times, and we need to encourage each other to be strong and faithful. I enjoy studying the Bible in depth and spend much of my “free” time doing so.

Thanks for visiting me here and reading my thoughts on the Scriptures and their application to the times we live in.
