My roses have already been hard-pruned, and are now leafing out, any danger of frost having passed . . . you see, California sport gardeners—those of us who garden for hobby and enjoyment—have gotten an early start this year.  We really have not experienced much cold weather, especially in Southern California.  Ha, the other day, I came in out of my backyard…

I’m so confused.  I cannot grasp the fact that God knows all my future decisions.  It makes me feel that my life is pre-determined.  If God knows all upcoming events, how come he wouldn’t be active in preventing me in making the “wrong” decisions?  I liked the idea that He didn’t know what I was going to do until I did it because of my free will.  I liked believing that he could see “potential avenues” I could take, should I follow the path he wants me to take.  When I think about the fact…

James passionately describes the destructive power of our tongue, of our unguarded words in the first half of James, chapter 3.  And writes, “With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.”  B…

There are times I feel all alone-I go to family/friends just to find they are in distress also.

 Just when the end is nearing-the sun shines; the air is fresh and the clouds are bursting with joy.

I find that I was never alone-JESUS carried me & mine thur.

SEEKING TO LIVE A MORE

CHRIST LIKE LIFE

No matter how much we read the Bible and try to apply the word of God to our lives we will fall short of perfection and in our efforts to emulate the teachings of Jesus Christ we will fail. We live in a sin-filled world and are bombarded by the temptations of Satan every day of our lives. Whether it is by open rebellion against God or just subtle ways of ignoring the teachings of the Bible, in one way or the other we will fall short of…

We turn the page, and read what our Lord’s brother has next to say to us.  Read with care:

1 Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.…

Do not wear yourself out to get rich;    do not trust your own cleverness. 

 Cast but a glance at riches, and they are gone,    for they will surely sprout wings    and fly off to the sky like an eagle.  Proverbs 23:4-5

 What is the obsession with gambling?  Is it the chance of risking money on a game or skill hoping to win?  Well isn’t…

Luke 8:16- 18

16“No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house. 17For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.…

WORSHIP OF ALMIGHTY GOD!





On June 26th, 1986 our Sovereign Lord God Almighty brought us from India to Australia to join our family here.

While in the plane coming here, in my mind’s eye I saw the Lord sitting on His throne and He had a chess board in front of Him and I saw Him pick up one of the figures on the board and move it from one square to another. In those few seconds I was thrilled in my heart to know that Father-God was showing me that in His…

Despite imperfections of this body,

my shell is an earthen clay jar

that's fragile, flawed and easily broken,

letting the Light of Christ shine.

Though not pretty on the outside,

I won't be mistaken

for a white-washed tomb -

God can use my weakness

to display His greatness.

I've chosen to be submitted

to His Will and Plan for my life.

In spite of exterior chips, dings and nicks,

Christ looks inwardly at my heart.
