He is There

Before history began, God was there. He is here in our now, He is in our midst. If we look up, He is there. If we look deep in our circumstance, He is there. If you are in a dark place, close your eyes and take comfort, knowing God is there. He is the Light…

Eyes to See

Changing Times

Weather change is ever consistent. Winter, Fall, Spring, Summer. Wistfully we change from babes to teens, then a person in between. Wedded as parents, then grand folks.

Even Ceasar was baffled and asked, “What is truth?” Jesus is the Truth the Way and life. He still speaks and His messsge never changes. He welcomes all to…

Submit and Grow

We desire to do good, but our flesh is weak. The desire to pray, read the Bible, to apologize, to do the right thing —those spiritual desires come from the Holy Spirit. He gives us the desire but it is our job to discipline our flesh, to say no to the distractions, and to act…
