Have you ever wondered how God can be everywhere all the time? Sometimes I think about how God reaches out to men and women, boys, and girls, all over the world at the same time, calling, comforting, and saving them, and my mind almost stops; I cannot comprehend it. He is one being, yet his... Continue Reading →
Calling on God
I paused this morning on my knees and began to think about talking to God. Here I am on this cold morning in my warm comfortable living room, while outside I see the white frost laying like a blanket across the field. And I thought about addressing God. Then I began to think that I... Continue Reading →
Personal Identity, Observations, Healing, and Me

Cyber security is of high priority, to keep us, our assets, and countries safe from those who want to steal information.

God’s Working
I suppose many of us have tried to understand the plan God has for us. Perhaps it is a relocation, or whether we should embark on a financial adventure, go to the mission, or a host of other things. Maybe it is the smaller everyday things that we face: like strength to train our children,... Continue Reading →

The Descent and Answered Prayer

Spiritual Anchor Points
The soft rise and fall of the swells cause the ropes which hold the ship to protest and groan. Time and again it rises, the rope stretches almost to the breaking point it seems, as the anchor firmly pulls the ship back against the pier. As the swell subsides, the rope becomes relaxed waiting for... Continue Reading →
Thoughts on Thanksgiving
I woke this morning with the thought that thankfulness is a byproduct, not something we put on like a coat. Likewise, counting our blessings cannot be done without looking at what we could have suffered. We cannot be thankful for a good crop without knowing that we could have had a crop failure. We cannot... Continue Reading →
