 Amazed and dumbfounded about what is happening in the “United” States of America. Not just today but for years. One temper tantrum after another.


“24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand.”
—Mark 3:24 & 25

  “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,  2  in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.   3  All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.  4  But because of his great love for us,  God, who is rich in mercy ,  5  made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.  6  And God raised us up with Christ  and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus,  7  in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace ,  expressed in his kindness  to us in Christ Jesus.   8  For it is by grace you h...

  PANCAKES!!             As I pen this correspondence, we have just started the Lenten season and our approach to the realization/celebration of the Cross of Calvary.

Do you know why they do this?             In the Old Testament, as the Israelites left Egypt, God commanded them to make bread without yeast for their journey. Why?             As it is with God often, He has multifaceted reasons for teaching us life lessons from the Word o...

January 10, 2021 LUKE 5:1-11 (NIV) It is simply amazing to me that in the ancient of days, when Jesus had trained, devote Jewish people available to Him that he chose Simon Peter and many other "common", untrained people to be His disciples.  Peter did not come with an impressive résumé. He was just an ordinary, uneducated fisherman working on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. When we take a closer look at Peter's life as he followed Christ we learn; he made some pretty major mistakes, he could be egotistical, he often misunderstood Jesus' teachings, he had trouble forgiving others, he had an issue with trusting others and he even denied knowing Jesus three times as Christ journeyed to the Cross to die for the sins of mankind, Peter's sins and ours! Peter was an ordinary person like us — someone who had good intentions but didn’t have it all together — and yet, Jesus still called him to be his disciple. Peter’s life was transformed through his RELATIONSHIP with Je...
