Safe Place with Ruth Graham

The debate seems endless. Good people, highly educated people, thinking people are walking around in circles. What they are saying doesn’t make sense. They speak gobblety-gook. There are times I feel they puposefully complicate the issues so as to confuse the American people.  I don’t know about you, but I am weary of Congress’ inability…

The debate about Syria continues. Obamacare seems to have many flaws that will cost our citizens dearly. The President’s foreign policy – simply isn’t. A convicted man hangs himself in his prison cell. Gas prices are on the rise because of the uncertainty in the Middle East. Workers attempt to force Walmart to unionize. The…

God told Abraham at a time when he was way too old to have kids that he was, in fact , going to have a son and, through that son Abraham would be the father of many nations. That was certainly big news! Bodacious news! Ridiculous….and in human terms, impossible. But with God all things…

  I was away from home tending to my youngest daughter who was in the hospital last week. The doctors discovered she has an aortic aneurysm. We were taken off guard – it was a shock to us – especially her.  Her biggest fear was that she would not live to see “her babies” grow…

Have you noticed how the media has gone from an obsession over fires out West to  Edward Snowden to George Zimmerman to the royal baby? The media sets the agenda – what is important, what is center stage and for how long. Who gave them that power? We did! And we can take it back.…

We all grieve that a young man died and another’s has been forever alterted. There is no happy ending here. Two mothers grieve. Two families have lost. And yet there are those who refuse to let them grieve in peace. The press predicted violence and has cameras and recorders at the ready for any hint of…

I am offended by the Supreme Court’s ruling this week. The great King David of Israel said, “Forever, O Lord, Thy word is settled in Heaven…” (Psalms 119:89) God’s word has told us that “He created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him male and female…” God’s word declares,…

H0w do I know personally when God is present with me or that I am personally in the presence of God? Both objectively and subjectively. I know God’s presence by faith. I don’t always FEEL it. Far from it – sometimes I FEEL as if He is absent and I get angry with Him. I know…

Oklahoma has been under siege with the terrible storms marching through that state. The storms seem to be taking the same path. Not only the tornadoes but the flooding. Repeated damage, repeated fear, loss of life, unending anxiety… This morning I was reading Psalm 33:5. It says, “The earth is full of the loving-kindness of…
