The Christian’s Yellow Pages
Where do we look when we need service? Some people actually use the Yellow Pages, which is a book compiled of services available.
Reading my Bible one tear-filled night the words in Isaiah 9 became alive to me. “His Name shall be called, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, and Prince of Peace.”
Suffering from years of abuse, neglect and unfaithfulness, my family was all but destroyed. Help had been sought from pastors and counselors of all kinds. All advised me to get out of that relationship as it was killing me. Continue reading
Cast Your Cares
How many of you like to fish? The first requirement of fishing is to have the right equipment! Now in the old days if we didn’t have a rod or reel, we would improvise using a flexible tree branch or twig. Then we attached some strong twine and tied on a hook. We would catch a live grasshopper or dig up some wiggly worms and put the live bait on the hook.
The next step was to “cast” the fishing line into the water. When we felt a tug on the line we would retrieve the make-shift rod and reach for the fish.

Joy! Joy! Joy!
The other day I woke up with not a lot of joy in my heart. So much has been going on in my life this past month.

After a quick conversation with the Lord, and prayer, I continued to get ready for work and go about my Father’s business for the day.
At work we corporately come together for prayer each day. It wasn’t long after we started praying that my supervisor shared the importance of maintaining Joy in our daily duties as the enemy comes to steal, rob and destroy it. She mentioned how important Joy was in every aspect of our lives. And the enemy also knows the importance it is for us. Continue reading
The Day My Father Said Good-Bye
Recently I was sharing with two friends and they suggested that I might want to share with you what I had related to them. As I thought about it later, I decided to do so, hoping that the Holy Spirit would minister to others that are in a time of grieving over the loss of a loved one.
First of all, I would like to give you some background of where our family was at that time in our lives so you will be able to have a clearer picture of everything. Continue reading
Happy New Year!
Hi! Happy New Year?
I’ve been sitting at my desk pondering over and over…where did 2014 go? How can I get it back? Well, we know I can’t get it back — but it went by so fast!! Continue reading
