Food for thought today! What do you want your loved ones and others to remember about you after we leave this Earth? I for one don’t want it said, “Oh, that mean old neighbor lady died” or, “Oh, she was so gossipy and full of drama”. We all have a legacy to leave to our family, loved […]
Are you worried about your family members or loved one’s salvation? Have you been ridiculed, laughed at or even shunned by others in your life because you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Rest assured you are not alone. I myself have lost my “good time” friends, a few close family members […]
Heavenly Father, as our nation pauses today to remember those in the military who have given their lives for freedoms we enjoy, we pray you would have us all look to you for strength, comfort and guidance.

If you could choose the worst kind, which would it be? I myself would choose spiritual suffering. All the other ways, we can get through with Christ by our side; but […]

What steals your joy and strength? Nothing will steal our strength and joy like living lives we do not love. The way we store energy is through our desires, values, passions, hopes, dreams, and aspirations, and ultimately our greatest capacity for energy storage is through what we love.
