Where is Hope?

Where do you find your hope?  I listened from afar and I could tell she was upset and worried. As she helped with my purchase I simply asked “I know you have a struggle how can I pray for you?”  She told me of her brain illness as she started to cry.  I told her I would pray…

God In Everything!

Where do you see God?  I use to only feel and see him is certain situations… in certain places.  I have come to realize he is everywhere.  In the music we listen to.  In the trees… in the clouds… in every part of the world around us.  He is in the  smallest of insects to…

Defining Yourself!

 His question, that I have been asked a hundred times in my life was simply: “what do you do”?  How many of us would have the courage to answer: “I worship God every chance I get and share his story with everyone”! Just like always we judge our lives and others based on what we…

The Light of Christ!

As this week has brought continue conversation and reflection on the life of my dad it gives me pause.  Conversations have been about his integrity… his kind ways… and mostly about his love of Christ that shined in his daily life.  He made my people his people.  He made others feel important.  He lived in…

Do You Ever Hide?

Do you ever hide?  Are you ever in a crowd or a situation where no one knows you love Christ and you’re okay with that?  I had so much respect for him.  His passion for Jesus showed in the visible tattoos on his arms and hands.  He explained each one to me and told me…

To Be Humble!

67 times in scripture God and his son mention pride and the sin it is.  67 times God reminds us that pride is not of his heart but of this world.  Pride leads to judgement… judgement leads to more pride… excessive pride leads to loss of love.  Pride in our social standing…  in our worldly…

Love Knows No Border!

So the question is “Love, where does it stop”?  Does it stop at your front door? Does it stop with family and friends?  Does it stop with those you are comfortable with? Does it stop at the border of the United States? Does it stop with those that are different than us?  Does love stop…

Slow Down – Feel God

Do you ever fill overwhelmed?  Do you fill a sense of urgency in your daily life? Why?  Lately I have felt that I have to get so much done each day or I wasted it.  As our Savior has shared HJD with me and asked me to share it with you I fill a sense…

Everyone Needs Love!

The absence of love is hatred.  It seems we have forgotten how to love with the spirit of God.  True love is seeing all the infinite in one.  It is seeing God in each person no matter how good or bad, no matter how big or small.  I have to ask is a hero’s blood…
