Scripture

Genesis 22 tells of the account of Abraham journeying with his son and a few servants to the mountain where the Lord had instructed him to go – and sacrifice Isaac. Most of us are familiar with the promise God made Abraham, that his descendants would number the sand, and here Abraham receives the test…

Let me start out by wishing you all a very wonderful 2010! 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! I was thinking of some of the practical ways as…

13When Jesus heard what had happened, he withdrew by boat privately to a solitary place. Hearing of this, the crowds followed him on foot from the towns. 14When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them and healed their sick. 15As evening approached, the disciples came to him and said, “This…

I was sitting here thinking to myself, how amazing life can be. That the outcome of what we pursue is often the very thing that keeps us busy day in day out, sometimes for good and often for worse. As the years passed I have had some lucky breaks, but along with those breaks came…

So often for those who are firm believers in Christ we tend to think that ‘once saved – always saved’. I guess this viewpoint widely depends on your own personal growth and foundation in the Lord as well as individual knowledge of the bible. Many times over, I have encountered my own dilemma in regard…

On Wednesday July 30, 2008 I posted an entry that touched many lives across the globe. As an online blogger who shares events and stories across a myriad of platforms that touch my life and in turn hopefully touch yours too – it is my responsibility to be aware of stories and issues that either…

I went back over the entire Journal and saw a repetitive speech forming with regard to the lack of posting and updating, and figured I wouldn’t even bother mentioning that I have slipped out of contention and broken the one month no post rule!

While in Yosemite last week, I spent the early mornings sitting out on the deck with a cup of freshly brewed coffee, waiting for the sun to rise, and watching the deer forage for their breakfast. It was a perfect setting to spend time with the Lord. You know how people often say “…and the…
