But, here's some good news for you, God still parts red seas. Many moons ago Moses and the Israelites faced their red sea. Before them was the treacherous Red Sea; behind,... Continue Reading →
I like mountains—from a distance that is. When they are covered in fog, feathered with green-bluish leaves, covered in snow, or simply snuggled beneath puffy white blankets of clouds. However, when they become synonymous to life’s struggles, I can’t say that I like them. More than likely you can’t either. We may use different lexicon... Continue Reading →
Crowds traveled the dusty streets of Jerusalem to find the Savior. Multitudes flocked the hills to learn about the treasures of His kingdom, and many huddled in the temple to hear His words.

Why would Peter immediately leave fishing to follow Jesus? Why would Zacchaeus run ahead to climb a tall tree just to get a view of Jesus, or why did Nicodemus seek Jesus after hours?

People all over the world are searching for things to fill their lives. Some believe they have found what they are looking for; but finding Jesus is the first greatest find.

Fortunes and adversity are often seen as two extremes; one is welcomed more than the other. As much as fortunes can bring adversity and adversity can bring fortunes; one seems good and the other bad. We would readily unwrap the box that holds multitudinous fortunes. As for the door that leads down the dark, winding... Continue Reading →
I encourage you to seek after these fortunes and enjoy the treasures they bring. Sacrifice Service Solitude Surrender Salvation Simple Pleasures Solicitude
There are a lot of caring people, who care about family and friends. But, there comes a time in our lives when we come across those who are big on kindness.

A sip of your favorite tea, a quick nap, a spoon of your favorite dessert, an early morning walk, a hug and kiss, a lunch date, a word of gratitude, a refreshing drink, alone time in the house, a night stargazing, a bubble bath; there are so many things that qualify as simple pleasures. With... Continue Reading →
The gap is not the best or safest place in which to stand; no wonder, it is often hard to find someone who will. The gap is not a comfortable place or position in which to stand; no wonder, so many people find the gap unsuitable. The gap is a lonely place in which to... Continue Reading →
Salvation is the greatest fortune given to us. It represents the most touching act of God’s love and solicitude for wretched humanity. Without pointing fingers at anyone, more than half the world has rejected this fortune. Some will nod their heads in quick rebuttal to say, “I accept it,” but their lives may just be...

We often think of surrender in terms of war, when the enemy takes... Continue Reading →

She sparks a gorgeous flame Sets the skyline aglow Then takes off till her morning show She is prompt; she leaves on the dot Maybe... Continue Reading →
I’m sure that you like your “me time” when life centers around no one else but you, and that’s fair. In a 24 hour day, after we are busy satisfying everybody else, we need a little self-satisfaction too…even for a few minutes. I’m definitely in favor of a little me time. Whatever you choose to...

What are you giving up? There comes a time when we have to give up in order to receive. Sacrifice is one underlying principle that governs success, as in the case of the current Olympics.
