GIVE ME YOUR TIRED, YOUR POOR

When I  visited New York several years ago, there were cows everywhere. I ‘m not referring to herds of them running through the streets.  Artists had painted these whimsical creatures to highlight some of the landmarks. My sister and I took photos standing in front of them, (before … Continue reading

CHIEF OF SINNERS

I’m tired. I need to be renewed.  My strength is waning.  The world is making me faint.  I feel I can’t take another step. Then I realize that I can’t take a single step forward until I acknowledge that I … Continue reading

HOW DO WE AVOID THEM?

The world has been evil since the first act of disobedience in the Garden of Eden.  Every generation since has become imbedded with Satan and his minions and become more and more corrupt and degenerated.  I don’t like being the gloom … Continue reading

FORGIVEN, ONCE AND FOR ALL!

  We often tend to give into the devil’s claim that we should wallow in our guilt.  How could God forgive a wretch like me?  I’ve not shown Him the honor He deserves – my life is full of imperfections – … Continue reading

BRING ON THE KIDS

The Gospel message is so beautiful in its simplicity.  Our human minds want it to be more.  We want to be able to wrap our intelligence around it and figure it out, but God is so awesome, He’s already done … Continue reading

HE LOVES ME!

Remember when you were young, pulling the petals off a daisy to determine if someone loved you?  There was always a 50-50 chance that the special someone you wanted to love you did.  The odds weren’t that great, were they? … Continue reading

WHEN I GROW WEARY

There are days when I wonder if I have enough energy to make it through another hour – when my body cries out for relief – when the work continues long after the body has been spent.  Every muscle and … Continue reading
