Friendship = A Strong Cord in Our Lives
September 3, 2026
Chaplain LaVina “Viny” Burns

It was exciting to know I was getting ready to speak at a Friendship Luncheon. To make an impact, I wanted to physically demonstrate friendship. My plan was to contact a very good friend and sister in the Lord in hopes of inviting her to come to Buckeye, AZ and attend the function. After talking with her, she called shortly thereafter and informed me a plane ticket had been purchased. I was ecstatic! This is a friend that is like my sister.

With that taken care of, I began to work on the booklet (I always provide the women a booklet with note pages, etc) for the luncheon. Upon completion of it, I contacted the Director of Women’s Ministries at the church and we went to breakfast. As we discussed the event, she looked at the booklet and then asked, “You do know the event is on the 14th of April – right?”. I just about died there in front of her. “No, I didn’t”, I replied. “I thought it was on Saturday the 7th. Problem!! My friend had just booked her ticket for April 5th, to be with us on the 7th. A Viny Moment!

We drove to Sky Harbor International Airport and picked up Kathy Link. What a woman! We met years ago at church in Kentucky. She is true through and through! Oh my lands, her support, her laughter, her prayers, her just being her! The seed of friendship was planted, the phone calls watered it and the conversations began to blossom as an opening rose. We found unity in Christ and leaned on each other when needed.

I watched diligently, at the airport, for this beautiful woman of God, so not to drive past her and there she was! American Airlines had delivered her safely to us! Time for laughter, sharing, prayer, and just plain friendship!

There are so many great friendships in the Bible that we read about in the Word of God. David and Jonathan; Ruth and Naomi; Paul and Barnabas…: Let’s look at Paul and his traveling companion.

Acts 11:22-26
22) “Then news of these things came to the ears of the church in Jerusalem, and they sent out Barnabas to go as far as Antioch. 23) When he came and had seen the grace of God, he was glad, and encouraged them all that with purpose of heart they should continue with the Lord. 24) For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord. 25) Then Barnabas departed for Tarsus to seek Saul. 26) And when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. So it was that for a whole year they assembled with the church and taught a great many people. And the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”

It is believed that Paul and Barnabas began with a strong relationship, however, whether it was immaturity on Barnabas’ part or impatience on Paul’s part, the two had to separate. Yet, God still was at work in both of the men’s lives. Friendship does not mean we always have to agree, but, but possibly agreeing to disagree and still get busy for the Lord! With grateful hearts, let us thank the Lord for the awesome friendships in our lives and work diligently for Jesus, side by side!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, 12, “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.
10) For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls,
For he has no one to help him up…12) Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”

Has God placed a friend in your pathway lately! Treasure them! Friendship = A strong cord in our lives.

Take My Hand Precious Lord
August 31, 2026
Chaplain LaVina “Viny” Burns

Have you ever looked at your features and wondered how you could change one or two of your specific “structures” that are not to your liking? All of my life I have wondered who in my family had a more pointed nose than me. LOL A couple of days back, I was taking our granddaughters’ new little 14-week-old Dachshund out on the front lawn. I went to pull her in closer to me when she came running and I tripped over her and the cord. I felt I was falling in slow motion and knew I was getting ready to land flat on my nose.

Sure enough, as I lay there profusely bleeding all over my newly mowed lawn, the thought that came to my mind was not one of “OUCH”, but “I wonder if this was an answer to prayer and my nose has been flattened a bit”! LOL Welcome to my thought life! I strike myself funny at times when I should have been thinking, “I wonder if I am hurt!”. The answer to that question was “YES”! The new neighbor across the street was mowing his lawn and stopped to look, then went back to mowing. Dalton, our grandson, came over to me asking, “Grandma, did you fall? Grandma, did you fall?...” I said, “Go get mommy.” Shelly came out asking, “Should I call 911?”

It was then decided, upon asking our EMS granddaughter and her EMS husband, to take me to the ER or to an emergency care clinic. We decided to go to a clinic on Avalon that closed at 5pm. The time by now was 4pm when we arrived. Two women came out of the office and said, “If you are going in there, they will not see you. They informed us they had too many patients and they closed at 5pm.” Sure, to the point, they were correct! We then decided to go the new Emergency care clinic on Montgomery and they were closed. Across the street was the hospital and thought we would go to their ER. That was not going to happen. The parking lot was lacking any parking spots. Our granddaughter had just delivered an individual to the ER via ambulance and told her mom, “They are FULL! You can go, but be prepared to wait.”

So, we returned home, no help in sight. Is that not life? We have mishaps and believe there is no help available to us. We ache, our nose bleeds, we have little use of our right hand, and every muscle in our back aches to beat 60! So, we go to bed!

Have you ever felt like that is your Christian walk? You get tossed about by others; your ideas go flat in areas you thought would work great; you feel bruised and abused by others and maybe get your feelings hurt. But when you go to God’s ER, there is help! There is no turning you away! There are no closed doors and you will NEVER hear God say, “I am too busy for you!” Praise God as we read these verses:

Isaiah 41:10 – “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

Philippians 4:6-7 – “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Psalm 46:1 – “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.”

Precious Lord Take My Hand
Written by Thomas A Dorsey

Precious Lord, take my hand, Lead me on, let me stand,
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; Through the storm, through the night,
Lead me on to the light,
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.

No, I am not expecting to leave this earth at this moment and I no longer have a bloody nose, but just to know the peace and care Jesus gives us, is everything to me! Just to know He is the Great Physician in my life as well as my Heavenly Father, caring for all my needs, is exceptionally wonderful!

Thank You, Lord for Speaking, to Me!
August 26, 2026
Chaplain LaVina “Viny” Burns

Interestingly, I wrote a blog and spent a long time on it. However, the whole time I got the feeling I should not post it yet. Or maybe not at all?? We just arrived home from mailing a few items and after starting laundry and dishes, I decided to go post it. I looked at the Word files I had open and thought I was deleting some labels, so I hit DELETE. Oops, wrong file. I deleted the blog – guess that answered that!

We often say, “I never hear the Holy Spirit talking to me” or “When will God want to speak to me so I can hear?”. My friend, when I have doubts of doing this or that, I seek the Holy Spirit’s leading and within my soul I know what to do. He speaks to me! Yes, I could probably rewrite the blog, but when it goes to the trash, I think, “let’s leave it there”. No, it wasn’t a bad blog, but for some reason, it should not be posted.

Have you heard this simple saying, “When in doubt – DON’T”? Wow that has saved me a lot of pain and woe in my life. Thank You Jesus for speaking to me.

Sit in silence and read with me a verse that will minister to your heart and soul:

Exodus 14:13 (NKJV)
13) And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today.

Don’t you love that? STAND STILL!! I have been learning to “Stand Still” or in my case, “Sit still”. The Lord knew for whatever reason to stop me, slow me down – get me to stop! And I needed to! My life was like the rocking chair; I rocked and rocked and went know where! In a sense, I am loving the time when the house is silent, and it is just me and Jesus! Talk about the conversations we have!

Just Jesus and Me
“I traveled alone, upon this lonesome road,
My burdens were heavy, and dark was my day.
I looked for a friend, not knowing that He
Had all of the time, been looking for me.

Now it’s just Jesus and me, for each tomorrow.
For every heart ache and every sorrow.
I know that I can depend, upon my new found friend,
We’ll travel along, Just Jesus and me!”
(No author listed)

Stand in awe and silence – open your ears, the Holy Spirit not only lives in you if you have confessed your sins and have asked, but He has a lot He wants to share with you. Open the Word of God and listen! Thank You Lord for Speaking to Me!

He Knows Me
August 25, 2026
Chaplain LaVina “Viny “Burns

The reason I love life is because Jesus has allowed me to live “Viny Moments”. These are moments in my life that something crazy, silly, ridiculous, funny, etc., happen. And yes, they are often. In fact, I actually have friends and family that will call me and say, “You won’t believe the Viny Moment I just had”!

Jim and I were shopping at a home store looking for wood, a tool, whatever?? Jim went his way as something caught my eye and I followed the interest. After viewing my find, I went in search of my husband. Oh, there he was. His back was turned to me looking at an item on a shelf. I walked up and went to put my chin on his shoulder to pretend I was looking at what he was. I came about 5” from his shoulder when I realized that was NOT my husband – just another bald man. Yes, lest you think I am totally crazy, he was Jim’s build and looked like him from the back. I laughed as I walked away thinking, “You don’t even know your husband!!” LOL 40 years of marriage at that time and I still had not caught on to who I had married!

It is times like these that my mind finds illustrations of my life in line with the Word of God. I know our Lord has a sense of humor, or He would not have created me. I love what I go through because it gives me material to write. As I thought about walking up to a stranger and thinking of resting my chin on his shoulder (good thing his wife was not around!), realizing I did not know him at all, I think how my Father in Heaven knows us so intimately. He would never mistake His own for someone that was not part of the family.

At age 13 I gave my life to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He knew who I was before I was born, ALL of my life and event to this date in time. Never has He ever mistook me for someone else! What an awesome God we have! Yes, He has tapped me on the shoulder to get my attention, but He knew it was me. He knows me so well and knows my wrongdoings as well as my attempts to serve Him. I love Him because no one has ever had to carve Him out of wood to create Him as a God. He is our Living Savior! He has ears to hear, eyes to see, mouth to speak, hands to hold us, feet to walk with us…

I just need to pay attention to who I am resting my head on the shoulder upon! My precious Jesus pays attention to me and knows me to the number of hairs on my head! He knows you too!

Psalm 139:1-2
“O Lord, You have searched me and known me.
2 You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You understand my thought afar off.” Thank You, Jesus!

Aren’t you praising God today that He, our Savior and God, knows everything about you!!

Clean Out the Gutters
August 21, 2026
Chaplain LaVina “Viny” Burs

Our 4-year-old grandson LOVES to go bowling! He hits the lanes about 3-4 times a week. Sometimes he bowls with bumpers up and, as in yesterday, he bowls without them. When he 1st tried bowling without the bumpers and the ball went into the gutter, I would say, “Don’t worry Dalton, you helped clean the gutters.” Then we would laugh.

Yesterday we went again and his choice was NO bumpers. There is a league he is trying to sign up for but you cannot use bumpers. The bumpers stayed down and the bowling began. Even though at one point he got a strike, there were several “Gutters” made! We got tickled when he hit one gutter and looked at us saying, “That gutter is cleaned.” LOL

There is a verse I love and use a lot in my life. It is 1 John 1:9, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” I think of this verse in Dalton’s case because the Lord loves to “Clean our gutters”! We know that we are ALL sinners and in need of a forgiving Savior! “For ALL have sinned and come short of the glory of God.” (Romans 3:23) We serve an ALIVE and RISEN Savior! He promises us to forgive our sins and come to live within us if we just ask! Then after we have been born into the Family of God, even if we sin, He promises us to forgive us if we confess to Him! In essence, we ask Him to clean our gutters.

If the gutter balls are like us confessing our sins to God, we know He will cleanse us as Dalton says, “I cleaned the gutter!” Yes, we do encourage him to throw the strike, NOT clean the gutters, but you get the point the point! Our Heavenly Father has no desire that we live in sin! He WANTS us to call upon Him to cleanse and forgive us.

Even equal to that, God wants us to give our lives to Him if we are an unbeliever so that He can prove His love to us and share His gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Roman 6:23, “For the wages of sins is death (forever being separated from God the Father – Jesus who died on the cross for our sins) but the GIFT of God is Eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Heaven!)

Today is the day of Salvation (II Corinthians 6:2) – Today is the day to allow your Gutters to be cleaned!

JOY in the Presence Around the Throne of God
August 20, 2026
Chaplain LaVina “Viny” Burns

May 15, 2006 our daughter, Shelly, was in the hospital preparing for delivery of our very first granddaughter, Rebecca to be born. Dallas was a nervous daddy to be and so excited to meet his daughter. Finally, the time had come and she made her grand entrance into the world! After the birth, Dallas was led into the hallway to push a button which all new parents get to push to announce the welcoming of the baby to all in the hospital. Throughout the hospital you could hear a lullaby sharing with everyone a new birth has taken place!! Of course, I cried!

It made me think of a newborn child of God. One night we sat across the aisle from a father holding his infant 2-week-old baby. When we walked out of the restaurant, the daddy walked beside us. I complimented his beautiful baby boy and then commented to him, “Make sure he is raised to know Jesus!” Who knows if he comprehended that thought or if he himself was raised in a Christian home and maybe just needed some encouragement. I also wonder if when his son was born a bell rang out in melody sharing the joyous occasion with everyone around.

There is so much excitement that accompanies a new birth. The Bible talks about this in Luke 15:7, “I say unto you, that likewise JOY shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance." I can picture the Throne of God with rejoicing angels having a party of celebration because another person gave their life to Christ. I can’t wait to see that scene when I go to heaven (if I go before Jesus comes again!).

Three verses later in Luke 15, it repeats with the same message. I truly believe if it is said once in the Bible it is TRUTH! If it is repeated – it is not only TRUTH, but we are to stand up and pay attention. And for a 3rd time, I am guessing the Lord is saying, “You are not listening! I need to say it again so you will know it is TRUTH! Pay attention, and BELIEVE what you are being told!”

Luke 15:10, “Likewise, I say unto you, there is JOY in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth.”

"There is Joy in the presence of the angels round about,
The Throne of God in chorus as a soul saved brings out a shout!
Stand up and pay attention, rejoice in one accord!
When a new birth is in the making, Let’s all praise the Lord!" LBurns2/19/18

Are you excited when a new born is brought into this world? Are you twice as excited when a soul becomes new born into the family of God? Read the wonderful story of Nicodemus in John 3:1-7:

"Now there was a Pharisee, a man named Nicodemus who was a member of the Jewish ruling council.
2) He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God. For no one could perform the signs you are doing if God were not with him."
3) Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again."
4) "How can someone be born when they are old?" Nicodemus asked. "Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother's womb to be born!"
5) Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
7) You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.'"

Get all excited, if you know Jesus you have a 2nd Happy Birthday - the day of being born again!

Sail On, Heaven Awaits
August 18, 2026
Chaplain LaVina “Viny” Burns

Our kids love to go on cruises. I, myself, have never been on one, but the luxury of it all is intriguing. I understand that at each port, passengers get to get on and off, shopping, dining, and enjoying the views. During the night, I was feeding our new granddaughter and decided to turn on a movie, “Missing the Boat”. It is a cute movie of two people that got off the cruise ship and missed the boat after trying to return as they had been viewing a waterfall. I am guessing that would be me on a cruise!! LOL

Then I think of my Christian walk. There are sites to see, shopping for truth in the Word (all free!), dining on the milk and honey with fellow believers, and just enjoying all that God has placed in my life. NO, when it comes to Heaven, I promise you, I will NOT miss the boat! The Ship of Zion will be on my path and I will be on it heading to the Pearly Gates. I know without a shadow of a doubt that my life was given to Jesus at a young age. He came in and washed my sins away as white as snow. He has since dwelt within me allowing the Holy Spirit to direct my paths.

John 14:1-6
““Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
2) In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3) And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
4) And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
5 Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

No, I am not being arrogant but walk in total confidence that God has prepared a place for me in Heaven! John 14 shares the beautiful truth for those who have placed their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. I may stumble with rough waters that surround the ship I am on, but never one time do I worry that I will be left behind on and not continue my daily journey. Let this ship sail on!

The Love of Jesus that Gave Me A Loving Husband
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM
August 17, 2026
Chaplain LaVina “Viny” Burns

There have been blessings untold in the 48 years of my marriage to Jim. I believe it is a rare thing to have been given such an amazing man and husband, let alone an awesome father to our children. He has lived through a lot in this family and looks at it as being part of the team.

I write this today because it is his 72nd birthday, August 17, 2026. His heart has been one of giving a. His heart has been one of giving since I have known him. If you are hungry, you will not go unfed as long as you are around him. If you are cold, there will be a coat given the next time you see him (even if it is summer, he will provide for the upcoming change of weather). If you need a sidewalk shoveled from snow, he will be there. My point is, Jim is and has been used of God in so many ways. Need Tennis Shoes, you will get jeans to accompany them with. On and on the list goes.

Now life is slowing down, but on good days, he is still the same man he has always been. It is because of the love of Jesus and his relationship with His Savior that has made him to be who he is. Years ago (1981) I was 7 months pregnant with our 1st child. I had had a bad day at work and came home irritable. Jim lovingly and quietly said, “Why don’t you just lay down for a rest.” I remember pounding my fists on his chest saying, “Can’t you just fight with me one time!!” He gently picked me up, laid me on the bed and said, “Go to sleep. You will fell much better when your awake.” WHAT?? LOL

The change in him began when he gave his life to Jesus at age 22. He’d been 3 years in the USAF at that time and drank heavily. A roommate in his quarters invited him to church at a small missionary church on the island of Guam. His whole life changed. His temper to calmness. His drinking switched to Pepsi at the time. His language to speech sharing Christ. The changes were not, “Do this or that” but a heart change that gave the desire to live for a Lord that gave His life for Jim, me, you and all others! Oh, what a change.

Did you know that Jesus, being God, has done nothing to shower us with His love and His life! How could we want to be anything other than that of loving this precious Jesus!!

I John 4:10 “In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.”

It made a change in Jim and gave him a 2nd birthday! But today we celebrate His life as the wonderful individual he is! So Happy Birthday my precious husband! I love you dearly and together we will finish up the years for Christ together!

Give Your Battle to the Lord
August 14, 2026
Chaplain LaVina “Viny” Burns

One of the most amazing women in my life growing up was a woman named Margie. She had been a madam in her early years and one day met Jesus. When she did meet Christ, she was INSTANTLY changed! Old things were definitely passed away and her life was made brand new through Jesus! One day I went to visit this prayer warrior and was invited to pray with her. Down on our knees we went and then all the way down prostrate before an Almighty God! She then began to pray. Her idea of prayer is to not waste God’s time or yours. Pray Believing!! If you do not believe then don’t pray!

I learned so much about prayer that day. Now I look down through the years of my life and see how much her teaching of prayer molded my life. When I encounter a person who has a problem with fidelity in marriage, a temper, addiction to p**n, thief, etc – you name it, I give them to Jesus and know that if he/she would give their life to Jesus, they too would change. My husband, Jim, was an alcoholic and the day he gave his life to Christ – instantly the desire of alcohol went away. I wonder about the Apostle Paul. He met Jesus on the Damascus Road in Acts 8 and he had ordered the mass murder of Christians. I know that he was changed and I doubt seriously he had a desire to have Christians killed after giving his life to Christ. I am convinced there is not one sin that cannot be forgiven and changed to something good by our Lord. If there was, His death would have been in vain!

It is not whether or not you change instantly, but that you change! Have you encountered someone that needs to change? Maybe it is an addiction, a habit, a lifestyle?? No, you cannot make them change, but you can get on your knees, then prostrate on the ground before an Almighty God and beg for change! When we start encouraging others to leave their spouses in the midst of a fire, (I do not condone abuse and counsel tough love) or give up on a father or mother, or a friend, we are suggesting that we do not have a POWERFUL God! I am here to say, “With GOD all things are possible!!” (Matthew 19:26) If you want to give up on someone that desperately is in need of Jesus – that is up to you.

But do not listen to ungodly advice. Many times misery loves company and if someone is going through something, they want company to join them in their decisions. Yes, you can make decisions for your life, but always consider the consequences. I Peter 3:1 says our husbands, if not believers, can be won by the wife’s actions – not her words. “Wives…that even if some do not obey the Word, they, without a word, may be won by the conduct of their wives,”.

If we are to succeed and win the battles in our life, we need to allow the Lord to fight the battle – not us! II Chronicles 20:1-19 “O LORD, the God of our fathers, are You not God in the heavens? And are You not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? Power and might are in Your hand so that no one can stand against You.'" (2 Chronicles 20:4-6). Then, later in the chapter, we are reminded, “The battle is NOT yours’ but the Lords.”

I want to encourage you to stop trying to fight the battles in your life on your own and get on your face and give the problem/battle to the Lord. If he is Ruler over the nations and power and might are in His hands – you are too and so is your problem. Don’t give up!! It’s time to give the battle to the Lord.

Rest Assured
August 13, 2026
Chaplain LaVina “Viny” Burns

A person cannot help but love the trusting soul of a child. We had been with our granddaughters one week while their parents are away for their dad’s surgery. It was the 1st day of school and I had inquired a few times “do you have everything ready for tomorrow or do I need to do anything for you?” Of course, the answer had been each time, “No, we have everything we need!”.

When morning came, I went to get different items for their lunchboxes only to find out, their waters had not been placed in the refrigerator the night before as they assured me they would be. WARM! Quickly I put some in the fridge praying they would cool down a little bit. Then I went upstairs and the youngest was coming out of her room. I asked her if there was anything she needed. She said, “Oh no, I’m sure my clothes are in the dryer.” LOL What? There were clothes for the 1st day of school that supposedly had not been worn yet (they had been) and I now was to have washed and dried them!! LOL Well they were in the dryer. She had confidence Grandma would have her ready for the big day! It took trust on her part to go to sleep and wake up ready with everything she needed to leave the house and head to school! Grandma was evidently not on top of the game!

It made me think of Jesus! If we have asked Him to forgive us of our sins, we TRUST and have FAITH that our Savior will cleanse us, He will – we can rest assure on that promise. We can go to bed at night trusting that if for any reason we end up in eternity, we will be going into the gates of Heaven, cleansed and made whole because Jesus did what He said He would. We can trust Him! I LOVE THAT! To know I am not perfect, but yet can be forgiven is so calming!

Look at the thieves on the crosses on each side of Jesus. Let’s read their stories in Luke 23:

39) Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
40) But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?
41) And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.”
42) Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
43) And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

Incredible! The 1st thief was cocky and arrogant telling Jesus to save Himself as He had saved others! But the 2nd thief was humble and asked to be remember in Paradise. My friend, if you have asked Jesus to save you from your sins, He WILL remember you in eternity because He Is GOD! I can TRUST and have FAITH He will take care of me. Just like our granddaughter knew she had been taken care of already when she woke up, God is there Morning, Noon, or Night! He is our caretaker!

Can you hear Jesus say like in verse 43, (my paraphrase), “I want you to rest assure you will be with me in Heaven!” If Jesus lives within you, your sins are forgiven, you can REST ASSURED!! You know He has kept His promises!
