In your personal opinion, what do you understand it takes for a person to go to heaven? It is as simple as spelling the word faith out on each finger.
Daily Walking with God
Nothing is too difficult for God!
“Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.” Jeremiah 32:17 Glory! There have been times when you may cry out, “I just can’t do it!” or “It’s too hard”. Allow me to remind you that...
A Prayer full of Power
And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue His work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns. Philippians 1:6 God’s not finished with you and me yet. Until the day He calls us home or He returns, we are...
The Birthday Girl
Today I woke up singing “Happy Birthday to you…” That’s what my mother-in-love would do on all our birthdays. No matter where we were, you were sure to get a phone call with her singing “Happy Birthday”. Well, today is Jany’s birthday. I wasn’t able to call her on the...

I cannot be God.
For you are great and perform wonderful deeds. You alone are God. Psalm 86:10 I can’t be God. I’m not even going to try to be God. Be more like Christ? Yes! But I cannot be God. To borrow a few lines from the Phillips, Craig, and Dean song, “You Are God Alone”, God...
And She's Off to College…
“Can anyone hide from me in a secret place? Am I not everywhere in all the heavens and earth?” says the Lord. Jeremiah 23:24 Yep, that was the bible verse that I woke up to on the day we were moving our daughter to college. Appropriate to share with her? You...
He's no magician…He's just God.
Jesus cracks me up. I wonder how many times He wanted to just shake His head and say, “Serious?” First of all, He’s so considerate. In Mark 8:1-3 we see where a huge crowd, of about 4,000, had been gathered around and listening to and learning from Jesus for about...
