And every work which he began in the service of the house of God in law and in commandment, seeking his God, he did with all his heart and prospered. 2 Chronicles 31:21
King Hezekiah of Judah is one of my favorite kings in the Old Testament. He walked closely with his God, and God walked closely with him.

Out of Sight
By Julie B Cosgrove | 2 Comments
And Sarah died at Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham went in to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her. And Abraham rose up from before his dead and said to the Hittites, “I am a sojourner and foreigner among you; give me property among you for a burying place, that I may bury my dead out of my sight.” (Genesis 23:2-4 ESV)

He’ll take it from here
By Gwenn McKone | 1 Comment
I have a client whom I write for, and who just happens to be one of the best clients I’ve ever had. I’ve been working with him for about four months. He lives in New York and I live in Washington, so most of our communication is via email, but sometimes phone calls.
For the first few months, we were pretty formal with each other. But then as we got to know each other better, we dropped most of the formality and began joking with each other occasionally. His business has been growing quickly, and he has been giving me a lot more work. In the process, we’ve been learning to work together.

Lost now found
By Julie B Cosgrove | 1 Comment
I returned from a weekend trip, pulled into my apartment complex , and reached up to the visor to punch the remote control for my garage door, anticipating the blessed whirr and light which would come on – my mechanical welcome home sign after hours on the road. But, familiar black box with the gray button was not there. I stared in disbelief with my car idling and my cat nervously pacing the window sill above me. My mind traced my steps. Had it fallen out at the fast food restaurant when I stopped to get coffee, or at the gas station? Did I notice it when I left to return home this morning? Had it fallen out at the highway rest stop on the way last Friday, or where I had stopped for a soda and lunch?

Restoring what others have taken
By Gwenn McKone | 6 Comments
“To them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial,
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name which will not be cut off.” Isaiah 56:5
God is speaking to eunuchs in this passage of Isaiah. A eunuch was a male who was castrated early in life so that he might perform a specific social function such as chamberlain in a palace, a courtier, domestic servant, treble singer (because their high child’s voice was preserved), religious specialist or a guardian of a harem of women.

I Hereby Vow

Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving, and perform your vows to the Most High,
and call upon me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” (Psalm 50:14-15 ESV)
Have you ever watched the courtroom shows on TV? Not the reality ones on today, but the older ones where the lawyers discover who really “done it”, and get their wrongly accused client off through their careful sleuthing. The lawyer ends up the hero with everyone applauding, and his client applauding the loudest. I love those shows. Good triumphs over evil and justice prevails. Oh, if that was only true in real life, right?
