The Battle
In thinking about the courageous men and women who lost their lives so others can be safe and “free” from tyranny and exercise their God given right to have a free will, I recognize them today and salute them for being disciplined, physically fit and mentally apt to go into battle. I also continually pray…

SOS
Today, my thoughts are focused on who you should communicate with when help is needed. I have learned the common use of the letters SOS which some believe means “Save Our Ship”, really have no meaning at all. Rather, it is a universal distress call using Morse code that is quick and easily remembered. Three…

Strength
Being a believer since I accepted Jesus Christ at 16 years of age, now at 60, I have definitely experienced both trials and blessings of the Lord. While there are so many things that I can and do thank God for throughout my life, strength is undoubtedly an attribute that I don’t know what I…

God Given Gifts
In the days that I have been blessed to reflect as well as count my blessings (without focusing on what I need to do at/for work), I have thought about the gifts that God has given me. What am I doing with them? Some people use their gifts or what others perceive as their talents…

Truth
At times believers state, “The devil is a liar!” which essentially means that something is not going to happen in the way the devil wants or that the truth is not being told because the devil is the father of lies.

The one phrase that unfortunately I hear much too often is, “I will fight like hell!”…

Living In & With Peace
Reflecting upon Holy Week and particularly Resurrection Sunday, I hope that whatever feelings that have been evoked for you as believers are lasting. While we acknowledge, celebrate and rejoice during this time, we must remember that the price that Jesus paid was not just for one week of the year. I know that there are…

Praising God
As Christians, giving the Lord the highest praise (Hallelujah!) is what we should do continuously and continually. This week being Holy Week our hearts as well as minds and spirits should be focused on the fact that, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him…

Forgiveness
When I am thinking about something to write for my blog I reflect on the readings from my daily devotion with God as well as any theme or topic that comes to me repeatedly. As I have stated in an earlier blog, the Trinity means a great deal to me because I truly believe that…

Self-control & Free-will
When thinking about being a Christian and having a Christ-like mindset two thoughts linger: self-control and free will. While they may seem polar or at opposite ends, the two terms really have a strong connection which is predicated on each other (it depends on the truth or existence of this thing). I do believe that…
