Hope
When I think of hope, a hymn immediately comes to my mind. We sang this hymn on a regular basis as a kind of norm at one of my previous church homes, but now when I think about it, this was anything but a normal song, it was God ordained to inspire and to give […]
HELP
Years ago, I was watching TV, and they were reporting on the Earthquake that had happened in Haiti. There was a man who had been rescued after miraculously surviving for four weeks trapped under rubble. He was taken to the hospital, and the reporters were talking to the doctor, and they asked if someone could really have been […]
We Love You
On Valentine’s Day there is a lot of emphasis on love spread around. It’s a day that like the holidays can bring good memories for some and sad memories for others. There is a lot of focus on receiving flowers, cards, chocolates and gifts and very little on giving. So, this year won’t you do […]
It Shall End In Praise
Despair is when you let the circumstances speak to you about what is going to happen. Often times when we are going through something we wait until we receive victory to praise God. However, as Emma Jean Foster sings “Don’t wait till the battle is over to shout now.” Don’t wait, respond with praise right now. […]
Halfsies
When we were kids, we had this thing we called “halfsies”. That is, if someone got something that we wanted like candy, we would call “halfsies”. Then they would have to share with us half of whatever they had. I’ve noticed that we do this with God. We want to take care of the part […]

It is trusting Jesus in the midst of your circumstances, even if the circumstances don’t look promising. But just when you don’t think you can hope anymore. Jesus shows up. Jesus is always on […]
Hope Comes With Jesus
Hope comes with Jesus. Hope entered behind the curtain. We are referring to the curtain that stood before Holy of Holies. The Ark of the Covenant resided behind the curtain. The curtain is where the high priest would go each year to pray that the sins of the people be forgiven. The curtain tore from […]
Jesus In Christmas
At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. If we look beyond the commercialism, we will see graciousness, generosity and love all over the world. We can see love in the eyes of children, or when we stop to look at Christmas scenes. We sing, we sing, and we sing of the […]

Life has many ups and downs that makes showing gratitude hard at times. But on Thanksgiving we stop and remember all that we are grateful for. […]
