Conclusive Picture
Conclusive Picture Have you ever stared at one of those paintings trying to find the face buried in a maze of other images? I back up and try and see the conclusive picture and the differences in lines and angles. I move my face closer and squint my eyes to bring in the smaller shapes.…
Hope Love Joy And Peace
Hope, Love, Joy and Peace Nothing makes me more happy then to help others find Hope, Love, Joy and Peace. I know what they say. When you tell people your troubles, 40% don’t care, 50% are glad it is you that the trouble is happening to and only 10% feel bad, along with you, about…
Thankful? Always! They told us earlier this year that my husband had cancer. My husband knew that something serious was going on in his throat but the specialists had to confirm the cancer growing inside his body before the rest of us would accept that C word. Cancer, who thinks it will happen to them?…
True To God
True To God Accepting others; I struggle with this, do you? If we are going to be True to God then God wants us to accept others just the way they are. He loves us and accepts us the way we are but He doesn’t want us to stay this way. We are to change…
Accepting Each Other
Accepting Each Other I remember as a youngster, many years ago, when we seemed to accept people more of just how they were instead of how we would like them to be.

Waiting with God It has been said, “Hurry up and wait.” And that’s the truth. We all have to wait on something. It is not said that we enjoy it. Our society encourages the fast lane. Our phones can work faster if we clear them of unnecessary applications, our computers can be ‘sped up’, fast…
I Give Up!
I Give Up! I give up! I can’t go on, I refuse to try and do everything anymore because I just don’t have it in me anymore. Ever said that before? You too? You are right. We can’t do it bodily or mentally anymore, ourselves. These earthly bodies tend to wear down after awhile and…
Wise People
Wise People Exodus 18:13-26 Effective Servant Leadership Even wise people need counsel! Jethro, Moses’ father in law, was watching Moses one day as Moses listened and counseled his people and their complaints. The bible tells us this was usual that Moses sat all day from morning ’til evening. Jethro asks why he was doing this…
Depression and God
Depression and God “I Kings 19:4 “I’ve had enough,” he told the Lord. “Take my life, I’ve got to die sometime, and it might as well be now.” Elijah spoke these words? I have felt like this through out my life, over and over. It is said that discouragement sets in after great spiritual experiences.…
