		<title>MOPS devotion:  Psalm 139</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d like to share one of my favorite Psalms- Psalm 139. These words are a reminder of how well God knows us, and yet how much He loves us. He formed each of us in our mother&#8217;s womb, and He &#8230; <a href="http://martha.4jcg.org/2009/04/21/mops-devotion-psalm-139/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>A Tribute to Sydney, our Australian Shepherd (March 1, 1995-Nov. 1, 2006)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is a beautiful, wild mountain stream in southwest Colorado named Animas River. If I had to describe Sydney in one word, it would be &#8220;animas.&#8221; Animas is a Spanish word meaning &#8220;spirits&#8221; or &#8220;spirited.&#8221; I think it comes from &#8230; <a href="http://martha.4jcg.org/2006/11/21/a-tribute-to-sydney-our-australian-shepherd-march-1-1995-nov-1-2006/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Prayer: a MOPS devotion</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been thinking a lot about prayer lately. I&#8217;m trying to consciously depend on God and think about Him as often as I can throughout the day. A few days ago, I came across a little story that has to &#8230; <a href="http://martha.4jcg.org/2006/04/02/prayer-a-mops-devotion/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>MOPS devotion: Roots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am really enjoying helping with our church&#8217;s new MOPS group. A couple of weeks ago, I gave a devotion at our steering meeting, which I was asked to share again at our MOPS meeting last Thursday. The following is &#8230; <a href="http://martha.4jcg.org/2005/10/30/mops-devotion-roots/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Existence of God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our Sunday school class is studying difficult questions that people ask. A basic one is whether God really exists. Some people think they can&#8217;t know for sure if there is a God unless they can &#8220;prove&#8217; scientifically that He exists. &#8230; <a href="http://martha.4jcg.org/2005/09/25/existence-of-god/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Materialism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great wealth with turmoil.&#8221; Proverbs 15:16 I&#8217;ve been reminded of some thoughts that I&#8217;ve had ever since I was able to go on two missions trips to Guatemala in &#8230; <a href="http://martha.4jcg.org/2005/07/24/materialism/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>Gardening. . . A gift of God</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I don&#8217;t know what it is about gardening. It is work, but somehow it is relaxing and even therapeutic. As long as I don&#8217;t spend too much time pulling weeds, trimming, or whatever, I feel encouraged and refreshed as I&#8217;m &#8230; <a href="http://martha.4jcg.org/2005/06/26/gardening-a-gift-of-god/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a>]]></description>

I&#8217;m trying this out for the first time, so we&#8217;ll see. . . &#8220;Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman keeps awake in vain.
