Can You?

A Now God

God is so good to me and I know most of you feel the same as I. He is a Now God; not someone that is history or someone we hope that one day will show up.

Don't Be Bullied!

Pull up a chair and let's visit for a few minutes. You've, no doubt, heard the saying, "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog." I have witnessed this very thing several times. Recently, there was a large yellow lab that came down our street and decided that... Sign in to see full entry.

Glowing, Going, Growing...

Spiritual growth is not so much about "doing" as it is about "becoming" - becoming more like Christ. It's a life-long adventure that takes commitment, intentional focus, and patience.

Do you remember the song, "Jesus loves the little children. All the children of the world. Red, yellow, black, and white they are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world."
