Everyone has incidents in life that leave lasting impressions; as we reflect, we know that it was obviously the hand of God who protected us from inevitable harm or death. We do things every day that with just one mishap could mean injury or the end of our life. Every time we drive on the... Continue Reading →
The Gospel
As the sailor turns his ship to the sea, the harbor and coastline slip from view. The gentle swell of the water rises and falls peacefully against the sides of his vessel, as the prow cuts through the waves. His heart and mind are on those he left behind and the lands he will see... Continue Reading →
Rest & Peace
The day wains and the evening shadows lengthen, the day’s work and play are done. Father puts his tools away and mother calls the children in from their play. The setting sun paints the sky with red, blue, and violet, while the shadows in the forest sink to deeper shades of inky darkness. The breeze... Continue Reading →
And so the Writer Writes
And so, I write. Not with beautiful pen and prose, but in frank honesty the truth of the scripture and narrow way.

So if you are living and breathing, here’s a lesson from a farm dog. Earlier this year I had the misfortune of accidentally running over our aging,... Continue Reading →
Chosen
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. John 15:16 Chosen, chosen by Him, how amazing is that. It should... Continue Reading →
God Is Good
Just a quick thought for the day, one that I know in my heart, and have to remind myself. In mornings when I wake up and the outlook seems gray, I will strive to remember, even when the world seems otherwise, and yes, you may need to remind me as well, "God is good!" Yes,... Continue Reading →
