I AM INSPIRED
Before each nerve was sewn, or breath of life inspired, Before each muscle formed, or potter’s clay was fired, He knew me even then. His hand was on my heart He shaped me with His power. With Him I am … Continue reading
INSPIRE ME
What does it take to be inspired, especially when it comes to your relationship with God? For me, there are no fireworks, no feeling of physically bonding with my Savior, no Road to Damascus moment like Paul experienced. When I … Continue reading
FORGIVEN, ONCE AND FOR ALL!

HEAL OUR LAND!

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
REJOICE IN YOUR GIFTS

IT’S FRIDAY!
Well the work week is over – that is unless, you work on weekends, are a parent, a caretaker or any other job that means you work all the time. We look forward to the weekends, because we can catch up on things … Continue reading
WEDNESDAY – NEW DAY
Dr. Seuss was a word master. Within his fun little verses he held great wisdom. We all have a choice which direction we choose for our lives. Choice is not just a term used for selfish reasons, it can be … Continue reading
