Nancy and I look at our daughters and see how the enemy is unrelenting, and his desire is to take them away from serving the Lord. Seeing the seriousness in all of this, we came to the conclusion today that above every other need within a family, prayer is critical for survival. How many of…

Since 2008 the world economy has been crumbling, falling apart and many nations have been affected, some, like Greenland as a country filed for bankruptcy, while others have seen massive multinational corporations fold over night.

Don’t know about you, but I am relieved that 2009 is history, not discounting the lessons I learned along the way, but rejoicing as we enter 2010 – there is an air of expectancy, excitement for what lies ahead!
