WHERE DO YOU PRAY?
Is it in the quiet, stillness of the morning or when the evening comes? Is it in a closet full of shoes and boxes that words of solace, supplication, praise and thanksgiving spill from your lips? Do you pray when you … Continue reading

SING TO THE LORD
I spent weeks at my grandparents’ farm in the summer and am reminded of the crackling sound of the radio whining out some of those ancient spiritual songs of woe. I guess you could call them the blues of the country. Grandma … Continue reading
LITTLE SINS
Dawn Jones at INSPIRATION with an ATTITUDE had an interesting post today about tolerance. It got me to thinking how the devil works and what he’s done slowly sifting through humanity with his minions. His ideology would seem to be spreading … Continue reading

THE END IS NEAR
THE HOUSE WE WILL BE MOVING INTO ON SATURDAY It’s been four years in the coming, but we are finally on the last leg of our move. I have resisted it, not only because of the work I knew would be … Continue reading
I NEED HIS STRENGTH
There are so many times when I simply need God’s strength. I cannot go through difficulties without it. He sends His Spirit to give me comfort when I waiver. He lifts me with His mighty hand when I feel I … Continue reading

LORD, HEAR MY PRAYER
We live in a time of extensive strife – everlasting discontent – endless wars – devastation caused by them – mindless acts of man – meaningless destruction which harms innocent victims . It sometimes feels overwhelming. The headlines and top stories of … Continue reading
AMERICA IS BROKEN
I’d decided not to write a politically based post today, but I happened on this one from a year ago today. It struck me that things haven’t changed much in that time, so maybe it’s important for me to add my … Continue reading

MY PRAYER LIST
My prayers list seems to grow longer each day. As we age that happens I guess. Many of our friends are reaching that time in life where intercession is needed. Their health is failing, their eyes and ears aren’t working … Continue reading
ANSWERED PRAYERS
Sometimes it seems like God isn’t listening, even when our prayers are constant. There are days when you don’t know what to pray for, because the world is in such a mess and it doesn’t seem that there’s any hope … Continue reading
QUIET CITY STREETS
Original art by Paul T. Boecher© The once quiet, peaceful city took on the ugliness of a terrorist attack, Smoke filled the air, clothing torn from bodies, blood flowing, buildings crushed like a house of cards and a little child’s cry … Continue reading
