WHAT DO YOU DO, WHEN GOD DOES FOR OTHERS...
What you had prayed he would do for you. It is marvelous to rejoice in the success of others; however, when their success or their answered prayer is the same one you have prayed for, and yet yours is still not forth coming what do you do? Please comment, thank you!

THE FIVE FINGERS OF PRAYER!

DAVID SLAYED HIS GIANT, AND YOU CAN TOO!
FIVE STONES FROM THE BROOK Nine foot Goliath stood in front of young David, Don't be afraid, David said, our God will not fail; No need of Saul's bulky armour or untested sword, My five stones from the brook will surely prevail. Five smooth stones placed in a shepherds bag, A weathered, leather...

IN HONOR OF THOSE WHO CONTINUE TO FIGHT AND DIE IN IRAQ

The clear running stream, Singing over its polished stones, Reminded me no matter the crisis of the present, I have not been, nor even now, am I alone. Walking...

EVER HAD A BLUE MONDAY?
I don't have them often, but yesterday, was one of the bluest Monday's I have ever experienced. I can't really tell you why except that I, my church and Christian School are praying some great prayers, and I don't believe the enemy is too happy with what we are praying. Yes, yesterday was blue, and...

BEING PULLED IN TOO MANY DIRECTIONS...
If your local morning and nightly news is anything like Music City USA, you know that there is an epidemic of people young and old whose lives are falling apart. In this early part of the 21st Century we need a revival of wholeness of heart and life -- too many lives are falling apart, and much...

WHILE THE WORLD WATCHES, AND ROME WAITS..
We all open our Bibles, and seek God's wisdom and guidance for our own major decisions. Happiness in life is based upon the percentage of right decisions up against our wrong decisions. You can use a grading scale like this one: Out of 100 decisions, we make 90-99 right - Extreme Happiness 80-89...
