Recently I read the work of an astronomy professor. He shared in his writing that fifty years ago we believed there to be six stars in the sky for every one person on the planet. WOW! Because of the Hubble Telescope we now know there are six galaxies in the heavens for every one person…
My wife, Lorna and I, love to dance. We have danced a lot over the past 37 years. We have danced for so long, we now move together as one. Thought is not on the dance, but simply on each other. So it should be, in our relationship with the Father, Son, and Spirit….
He is a liar! He delights in chaos! He cheers as we dislike others. As we see differences in ourselves, he dances. He finds pleasure, as he watches us look at others with hatred, instead of seeing our Savior in them. He lives to divide… to cause fear… and to make us turn from…

I remember vividly what it felt like to hold my daughter… then my son… for the first time. The amazing deep love, like I had never known before, overwhelmed. As I admired their face… as I counted their fingers… their toes… as I kissed their face and experienced their wonderful smell for the first time….
