We have had a change in our weather here in Arizona and several days of rain. One of our desert pine trees in our front yard decided just overnight to up and die. Who knows what caused it? Could have been too much rain or not enough…….too much sun although I doubt that! But whatever … More STRUCTURALLY COMPROMISED
In the world…….there is always the appearing of not enough, having enough, making enough money or having enough stuff. And because of that, people are hoarders of all sorts of things. I guess people worry there won’t be “enough” of something someday. Why is that? In a world where we have so much and endless … More MORE THAN ENOUGH
What do you do when the war comes to you? We are in a daily battle, a battle for souls and the enemy would like nothing better than to take ours too. We must daily, put on the armor of GOD and remember this…… EPHESIANS 6: 16 “IN EVERY SITUATION TAKE UP THE SHIELD OF … More BATTLE SCARS
GOD wants us to do things we cannot do without HIM. HE will use our gifts powerfully when we rely on HIM. If you rely on your own abilities, or your will, you can find yourself limited……instead, allow the HOLY SPIRIT to empower you! I can still hear him, the voice as clear as it … More NO LIMITS!!

Sometimes I think the Holy Spirit gets forgotten when we speak of the Trinity…….the Trinity is the FATHER, the SON and the HOLY SPIRIT. When JESUS left this earth, HE did so, to leave with us a Helper and that is the HOLY SPIRIT. When the Spirit resides within us, we have that Holy Barometer, … More A HOLY BAROMETER
In another month the summer heat will be upon us here in Arizona. I will admit my blood is thinning out so really anything above 110 starts to feel hot to me. Someone asked me once what 120 feels like…….stick your head into an oven and that is it! My question right now is this……are … More FEELING THE HEAT
You cannot live here in Arizona and not notice the continuous thread of GOD’S glory. It is there in the early morning, evenings and on any walk, hike or trip nearby. We have an area here called Saguaro Lake and it is called the jewel of Arizona. I found it by taking a drive one … More THE THREAD OF HIS GLORY!
BECAUSE OF ONE HURRICANE AFTER ANOTHER YOU HAVE TO WONDER……… How many hands reached across the miles and how many hands were lifted in prayer? How many prayers were said over homes, and doors and windows? What kind of prayers were said for families, friends and neighbors? So many prayers and folded hands lifted high…….all … More CROSSBEAM
