Wisely Question

Can I find relevance in words that were written over 3,500 years ago.  Do I belong in this chaotic world, or would I fit better in another place?  Is it possible to frame an understanding of all creation with mere words? Who was it that asked over 3,300 questions in the oldest, most controversial book…

Zechariah

The young prophet Zechariah offered words to encourage the children of Israel as they labored to rebuild the Temple.  His words painted a bright picture of the perpetual blessing that was coming to Israel.

Nahum

His name and the message of Nahum means ‘comfort’.  Nahum lived during the reign of the good king Hezekiah of Judah and Isaiah. When the cruel Assyrians invaded, he escaped into Judah.

Scaled Up Chutzpah

The Prime Minister of Israel hosts a ‘Royal Tour’ of his homeland along with his wife and son. Affectionately known as “BeBe” he condenses the amazing 5,000 years of history in his fun and whimsical way.  The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu drives a boat across the Red Sea whose shores are shared by Egypt,…

The Upper Room

Living in Mexico with a passion and a purpose!  Moving forward with my full armor on, riding into the future victorious, advancing the kingdom. A mirador was installed up on the roof over Memorial Weekend 2018 and it will be a place where I can pray over the city in which I live and also…

Refresh in Paradise

Have you ever just wanted to sneak away from the noise, from the stress, from the routine of a life that simply feels so blah? The world offers much to distract us, but what our soul seeks is peace, a peace that the world cannot deliver. Spending time alone, or with other peace seekers…refreshes us…
