Diane Virginia: Unseen Artist Revealed

VineWords Devotions and More

After some time, he let go of the brush. His hand was still above mine so I still felt confident. Before I knew it, his hand was on his chin while only my hand held the brush. At first I didn’t notice. Occasionally he’d hold the brush again, and I almost welcomed the difficulties that led to his hand again being poised above mine so we could paint together. …

Martin Wiles: God Moments

VineWords Devotions and More

Mom’s a sucker for a piano. She’s been playing since she was a small child. She dreamed of becoming a concert pianist—which she probably could have accomplished—but she married my dad and became a preacher’s wife instead.

Martin Wiles: Passing the Heritage

Martin Wiles: Gone but Not Forgotten

VineWords Devotions and More

In our area of the United States, hummingbirds arrive in late March or early April and hang around until mid-October. A few weeks before their arrival, I hang three feeders for the scouts who arrive earlier to find so they can tell the later arrivers.

Almost anywhere we sit or stand in the house, we can view the beautiful little birds feeding. …
