George Sand Hesitation.  In the Bible Hesitation appears 5877 times and usually it does not end well. There are dangers for those that hesitate. Trusting God involves complete trust without hesitation.  Jesus commands immediate obedience.  God never hesitates.  Believers should not hesitate to act when they know what is right. "Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet.

C. S. Lewis  Our home and prayers are in preparation and anticipation. Keeping Christ in Christmas is most important. Allowing in the LIGHT (and pure love) of the world, gives us hope for the future. (Some faiths celebrate Faith or Peace on this Sunday.) Let us all focus on everywhere we have seen Love in Action this past week and then try to put more LOVE in action over the coming week. May you speak and walk in Love. "When Jesus spoke a

Things did not seem to go in the right direction much during the day. I reminded my husband, "No one died... this is nothing, let it go."   It is really hard in life to let go of the stuff we can do NOTHING about.  It is not even about tomorrow being a new day, how about the next moment is a new moment in life with no mistakes in it? "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving than

It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone. They could be honest with me, and I with them. Reading your words, what you wrote and how you were lonely sometimes and afraid, but always brave; the way you saw the world, its colors and textures and sounds, I felt ... I felt the way you thought, hoped, felt, dreamt. I felt I was dreaming and thinking and feeling with you. I dreamed what you dreamed, wanted what you wanted... and then I realized that truly I just wanted you."  Cassandra Clare, Cloc

Love one another but make not a bond of love; Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of LIfe can conta

There is a growing population that has chosen to be unaffiliated with religion and God.  It is focused on "ME"  more than anything else. They replace God with Tolerance.  No one dare question them - "me" - for their behavior or their beliefs.  It is hard at my age to see children being raised so far away from the God. It is easy to talk of faith, but not easy to WALK the faith. It is not easy to LIVE the faith. It is not easy to DIE for the faith.  I cannot change anyone else but me. I can pray and have HOPE they wil

You feel safe and comfortable." Jess C. Scott  Kindred Spirit   Noun    A person whose interests or attitudes are similar to one's own.  Do you long for that 'kindred spirit"?  The ability to be yourself in the raw without judgement?   It would be difficult to travel this earth in our journey with them.   We are Kindred Spirits for the work of Christ.   Anne of Green Gables "What I need is a really good friend, a bosom buddy.  You know... a KINDRED SPIRIT with whom

I may not follow. Don't walk behind me ... I may not lead. Walk beside me .. just be my friend." Albert Camus  With the season of Advent present some verses from the Bible catch in my heart and mind and over the days I repeat them again and again and I write them over and over.  While the above quote may be true for our earthly journey, I want to kno
