When the news first hit the airwaves concerning a massive earthquake in Haiti, little attention was given to the severity. There have been rumblings here and there, but who would have thought that 10 short miles below the surface of Port-au-Prince a massive 7.0 earthquake was to ravage the city, and bring devastation beyond comprehension?…
Considered a Love Dare Lately?
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!

Las Vegas Downloaded
Once in a while there comes an opportunity to visit a place that everyone across the globe talks about. Sometimes it is a place that you may have heard of as a child growing up, or perhaps someone told you of a time they went to an amazing world renowned city. For us, this past…
Becoming the conduit: You Feed Them!
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…
How do I carry my cross?

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…
With a Twist
Every now and then I will look at a situation and draw my own conclusion to it.

Today we touched on some of the passages in the book…
Merry Christmas 2008
CHRISTMAS comes but once a year. While this day induces excitement and wanton spending and merry-making, it must be a time to reflect on the man on whom this day is centered. This is our Lord Jesus Christ. Although I do not intend to sermonize, those celebrating Christmas must reflect on the events that led…
