WHY!

I grieve… I mourn… I sometimes cry uncontrollably…

Gandhi.  Dr King.  Kennedy.  Lincoln.  Lennon.  Evers.  Our Savior Jesus Christ…  all killed simply because they stood for peace… for love! 

I have great trouble understanding why?  Understanding the struggle between Gods’ children.  Why do we use skin color. Race. Differences in opinion. Nationality… as an excuse for such hatred and such violence?  I see friends and loved ones not speaking simply because they disagree.  I see churches terminating leaders because they are not perfect.  Scripture tells me that we are all his children and made in his image.  So why do we abuse and treat each other as we do?  Why do we judge based on color, based on opinions, based on differences in lifestyle?  Are we not ALL made in his image and filled with his spirit?  From that spirit we inherit the knowledge that anything, other than love, for others, is wrong.  Stop letting the evil one direct your actions and look solely to the spirit that lives in you.  The spirit of the God who made you.  The spirit that says I don’t care who you are, where you come from, or what you did, you deserve my love… my respect… my compassion!  Oh to live in that world!!   

Romans 15:7-13

I Love You!

Baby Jesus!

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….

Daily Prayer

Jesus let me boast only in you and your glory not in any of my abilities or gifts.  Allow me to shine your love so that when people see me they see you!  Allow me to project your example and pattern my life around your life.  Give me the strength to live in you so…

We Need More Faith!

“Doesn’t the state of the world scare you to death”.  As I listened he could feel I didn’t have the same concerns he did.  His face looked puzzled.  Then I answered by saying.  “I don’t worry, I know who’s in charge.”  Faith…  Unwavering faith is such a powerful force.  Without faith we have no hope. …

During The Storm… Trust

This evening I took the time to sit and watch a magnificent sky that our God made.  It is so vast with deep shades of blue and large white pillow clouds.  As I enjoyed the wonder of our God I noticed some dark ominous clouds moving in to cover up the beauty. That gave me thought as…

The Flow Of Our Spirit!

As I stood beside the mighty Mississippi, I came to a quiet realization of our spirit. The flowing of such a body of water never stops.  Day and night without ceasing, it flows.  It bends and turns.  It has a life all its own, but is never stops.  Downward… always downward… toward something so much…
