A Gift Unwrapped

To every heart, amazing love is extended. SOON, very SOON, packaged gifts tied up with ribbons will be undone as colorful paper is torn off boxes of gifts. The world chose December 25th as the designated day to celebrate the birth of Jesus. Many will choose to rejoice in our rebirth “in Him.” Singing “Silent…

Christmas Poetry

On Friday, December 25, 1863, Henry Longfellow—as a 57-year-old widowed father of six children, the oldest of which had been nearly paralyzed as his country fought a war against itself—wrote a poem seeking to capture the dissonance in his own heart and the world he observes around him that Christmas Day. Henry’s most widely read…

Faith in Evidence?

Depending on our ways, and in our collected knowledge, we take on the challenge to figure all things out. Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and…

Purposeful Retreat

To get away, to go into the secret place of the most High, to reconnect with His purpose and supreme plan, is to retreat from the distractions of this world. A purpose driven retreat from the Deceiver, is to realign our life with Jesus, the Author and perfector of our faith. It is a choice…

Waiting

Patience proves to be profitable, however, do NOT be idle as you wait. Waiting on God in Hebrew is the active word quavah. Our Father does not expect us to be passive and watch the world have its way. As we wait, we expect, hope, and interact in peace with Spirit. We intertwine with His Spirit…

Set Apart

These LaOla girls were set apart as a testimony of God’s plan. They shine with the glow of knowing that they are loved and that God has a plan for their future. Who is our Promise Keeper, our Provider of all good? Psalm 132:15 “I will bless her with abundant provisions; her poor I will…

UNITED IN STRENGTH

An American stands for UNITED, and NOT division. The United States of America has been given a second chance to unite in our allegiance to ONE NATION under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Robert F. Kennedy is a true American who is open to CHANGE in order to fix what is broken.…

Peace Alert

God sends folks into our lives for a season, for His reason. Some come as Rocket Boosters to put us in His orbit, to change our atmosphere, to shift our focus back to Him. Cling to Jesus, not the seasonal saints He sends. Hamas ceased fire in November 2024 when Trump was announced to be…

A Divine Passover

Faith is being sure of what you HOPE for and CERTAIN of what you do not see. Hebrews 11:1. Seder means order, and God ordered us to remember what He did for His children on the first Passover. It took place in Egypt, and His grace continues to passover us. Each feast day in the…

REVELATION

Revelation 1 “Look, He is coming with the clouds,” and “every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him”; and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of Him.” So shall it be! Amen. “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” (outside of space and time, I am the beginning and the end) says…
