I have learned over the years through both personal experiences and study of scripture that God will allow us to go extended periods of time waiting on Him. It seems as if He is not there and that He does not answer our prayers. He gets us through the horrible pain we land in and we cling to Him...
Truth is not relative but our lives are. The old saying: "Know God, know peace...no God, no peace" sums it up perfectly. I have found that when I seek God earnestly, I don't desire indulgences such as food, sex or stuff. The result of the time spent with God makes it easy for me to lose weight...
“I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her rich mines and her vast world commerce, and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her public school system and her institutions of learning, and it was not there. I sought for the greatness and genius of...
Klara, a devout catholic and loving mother of two was enjoying a book when a knock at the door preceded the news every parent dreads to hear:” your son has been in an accident”. The waiting room echoed the clicking heals pacing back and forth as time passed like molasses running uphill. The...
Don't you just hate it when you are running a little late, jump in the car, fasten the seat belt and head out. You get a few miles down the road and slow to a crawl... You ease the clutch out and inch forward five feet only to repeat the process at least fifty more times. You look at the time...
Please also see: “They” are stealing our kids and changing our future.
For centuries “Christian manhood” was the ideal for men in Western Civilization. From the days of “knights in shining armor” in the Middle Ages until the 20th century, the rule of law based upon Scripture directed...
While nothing will ever pale in comparison to the trials Paul went through, I can relate in a small way to what he was talking about in the book of Corinthians. I have this part of my life that I want to make disappear but not only am I in a position where I must embrace it daily but I hear the...
I was presented some information that I wish I was never given. (It is strange how people think they are helping but gossiping really just hurts) This information cut me deep and the pain of it made me want justice, I was angry at all the parties involved and felt like I had to say...
I know people who share these types of chain messages. It makes me sad... I want to tell them sharing that picture/message will do nothing for them but I am sure the response will be "what does it hurt?". When will people realize a change within is what will change lives? When will people...
When it really hits the fan and I pray, I fast and go to church and search for God and … no answer. When I am hurting and can’t take it and call out again: God, help me … small answer but the hurt still stabs like a spoon through my spleen … Where are you God, I need you now more than ever...
I like to build hotrods. I have a 1990 Mustang GT I work on, when it was factory fresh it would drive and perform as good as any other car on the road, it served its purpose. I did things like build a performance engine, add a supercharger, and install a performance clutch… After equipping the...
I died today. I tried… I just don’t know what to say. I just knew God chose her for me. I remember praying for God to send me a companion, I was alone for so long. I remember the first time I saw her, I thought to myself ”what a beautiful woman”. We took things slow, we dated and I fell head...
My Child,
You may not know me, but I know everything about you . I know when you sit down and when you rise up. I am familiar with all your ways (Ps. 139: 1-3). Even the very hairs on your head are numbered (Matt. 10: 29-31). For you were made in my image (Gen. 1: 27). In me you live...
Let that soak in for a moment... if you belong to Jesus, there is NOTHING that can separate you from His grasp. You are His eternally and nothing you have done or will do can separate you from Him, on the same token, nothing you will ever do can earn this gift. God's grace blesses us. The LORD...
Please God, give me the strength to not ask you to stop working on me through this pain. I just want to cry out for relief but I am changing, I am caring...I hurt and cry and I see so much more now. I see the needy where once I just walked by, I pray for the lost and suffering and my heart hurts...
I was lost and you found me. I was weak and you gave me strength. My heart was heavy and you helped me carry it. My mind raced with worry and you calmed my thoughts. My life so intense and you gave me rest. I gave you my troubles and you took my fears with them. My spirit was broken and you...
How dark does the black need to be before the blindness of the day’s light fades and I open my eyes? I walk each day into the next, oblivious to life…one step closer to death. Only in the deepest of sorrow and pain is hope found… is hope sought. How long will my cries go unanswered… unheard...
