We interrupt this broadcast . . .

Monday, January 23rd, 2012

I’m not a quitter. Really, I’m not. But I am a procrastinator. And highly distractible. And . . . maybe a little ADD. So perhaps you’ll understand when I tell you I’m putting poor Amos on hold for a while. We’ll come back to him, I promise. But right now, I’m being pulled in many [...]

Mission Laredo

Monday, August 8th, 2011

Hello, friends! Sorry for the lengthy absence. Didn’t mean to leave you hanging, wondering about the fate of the poor Israelites. My family and I spent last week in Laredo, Texas doing construction, helping with Vacation Bible School and Sports Camp, conducting door to door surveys, and leading a ladies’ Bible study. It was such [...]

Cooling off . . .

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

Happy Weekend, everyone! I don’t know about you, but I’m having a little trouble staying cool these days, what with the four-hundred-twelve degree weather and all. Well, it feels that way, anyway.

Happy Weekend!

Friday, July 15th, 2011

I wish each of you a restful weekend filled with frothy iced coffee drinks and lazy naps in the shade. And while you’re sipping and napping, I thought you might like to listen to one of my favorite songs ever. Be blessed, and I’ll see you on Monday! Love, Renae

Amos 1:13 – 14 “This is what the Lord says: ‘For three sins of Ammon, even for four, I will not turn back my wrath. Because he ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead in order to extend his borders, I will set fire to the walls of Rabbah that will consume her fortresses amid [...]

When the Lion Roars

Tuesday, July 5th, 2011

Amos 1:2 “He said, ‘The Lord roars from Zion and thunders from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds dry up, and the top of Carmel withers.’” I don’t know about you, but when I go to a new place, especially if I have some unpleasant business, I try to make a good first impression. I [...]

Amos 1:1 “The words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.” When I first read through this verse yesterday morning, I hadn’t [...]

Famous Amos

Monday, July 4th, 2011

Hello, again. My name is Renae, and I am a blog deserter. Well, sort of. As you can see by the dates on my previous blog posts, I’ve taken a loooooong break. And, well . . . honestly, I’ve missed you guys. But since I’ve been gone so long, and I’ve gone through several hairstyles [...]
