Begin and End

Attempt to imagine the very beginning. Not just before you were born. But before earth, galaxies, stars, or before waters existed. Before the dark was split by Light. Before language was spoken, or a word, or a single sound. Note, how try as you might, your mind slips into an impossible blank void. All that…

Temporary Shelter

The Spirit of God dwells in us as His desire has always been to simply fellowship with His beloved people. The Lord said to Moses, Exodus 25 “Tell the Israelites to bring Me an offering. You are to receive the offering for Me from everyone whose HEART PROMPTS them to GIVE. “Then have them make…

Whispers

The Holy Spirit is always speaking as we read the Word of God. He is in that subtle “aha” moment as we remember the truth of what God said. His divine guidance comes as He lifts the Word off the page and into our hearts. The Spirit operates within the ordinary rhythms of our thoughts.…

Our Father’s will and great pleasure is to give us all that we need! People that make us laugh, people gifted to sing, dance, and folks that play the piano, violin, drums, all for our pleasure.
