A LIFE THAT SPEAKS GLADNESS OF HEART
I love being around people that are full of joy. Their spirit is such a lift for me. But there is ANOTHER who can lift you as well and it is the LORD your GOD.

USED IN UNCHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES
SOMETIMES LIFE changes in a moment and then there are days where it feels like the same old, same old. Routines do that to us. Being stuck in a rut can be so…….blah. When life hits this way, we cry out to the LORD saying: “what are YOU doing, where are YOU, should I be … More USED IN UNCHANGING CIRCUMSTANCES
THE LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN SEE
There is a limit for us as humans as to what we can see. When driving a car there is a limit as to how far down the road one can see. And depending upon where you are, the road might look endless. I experienced this as we drove through New Mexico and Utah one … More THE LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN SEE

NEVER TOO FAR GONE
Sometimes we pray in the quiet. We wrestle and we pray, we cry and we pray more. And we think: GOD shouldn’t I know this by now? We see our failures and wonder why GOD even puts up with us. Then we wonder: is this situation too far gone? Am I too far gone? When … More NEVER TOO FAR GONE
AND I TREASURE IT…….
In our throw away society people just don’t seem to care much about anything these days. People quickly discard their belongings and even more so with people! There is a bigger trend these days of throwing away a loving family and even friends. Relationships can be messy and sometimes it takes a humble spirit and our … More AND I TREASURE IT…….
