Why the dramatic and continuing decline of the so-called "mainline" Protestant Churches in America over the past half century?…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You Lord, for Your many promises of blessing to us, Your children. I want to receive everything that Jesus died for, when He went to the cross to save me. Salvation and healing are just the beginning of why You died on that cross for me, and I do not want Your death to be in vain. I want to receive all the covenant promises that You suffered for in my behalf. Lord, deliver me of doubt and unbelief and help me to guard the things I say. May I always confess…

  I recently read this article on Gabby Douglas 16 year old US Olympian... The article was " attacking her faith, Really?" At first read, I was angry and thought, I just wanna punch that person.. justifying my thought process into "rightous anger" How dare that person, hmmpf.... after stewing a bit over this, I felt the need to repent of my anger.  I ask God why are people so mean?  Quickly the Spirit reminded me 1 corinthians 1:18 that the scriptures teach us the gospel is foolishness to…

Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful for my children and grandchildren. They are a blessing to me. I know that I have failed many times over the years in the department of parenting, but I do thank You that You are merciful and have been there to help me as a parent. Grant me continued patience, wisdom and love in the ongoing relationships with my children and grandchildren. May I be the kind of mother and grandmother that the generations after me will remember as a good and godly woman.…

Now that people are becoming more aware of my poetic efforts, interests are being expressed regarding the background of my poetry - in addition, to my spiritual muse. In this installment, I share a blurb regarding my poem "Enjoy This Season".

Lots of people like to surmise about the idea of living in a different period of recorded humanity, such as: Italy's Renaissance (circa 1400-1600 ad), the building of the Greek or Roman Empires, the time of Christ and so forth. However, not me.…

Those disembodied remnants,

Earthly remains of unknown souls,

are now assembled at my doorstep.

Having piqued my attention,

who are these unwelcome houseguests?

Loved ones or Nordic heroes

who were consumed in funeral pyres?

How old are these molecules

that have been forever scattered

during these past centuries?

Unwanted leftovers of human containers,

eaten by microscopic mites,

nibble at my presence

and wait for my spirit to dry…

Hi all,

Thanks for having me on your site.

I am looking forward to making friends with some of you.

We are in the midst of 'The Olympics' here in the U.K. (and doing fairly well ha ha ). The sun is shining here, which doesn't happen very often at the moment.

Isn't God good to us??

Statement not question.

Enjoy.

By His grace, I'm learning...

I'm so excited! Let me explain. You may know about what happened yesterday. I came within possibly seconds of meeting Jesus! That's how fast it went. I couldn't process what was happening fast enough. With the speed the blue vehicle coming towards us, that's one reason why the processing was slow for me.

It has so humbled me. I now see things differently. I now want to see Him more than ever now! It's been a humbling experince…

I think someone already blogged about this awhile back saying to always pray before you get into a vehicle. Well, please always do pray for protection...

1.I remember I prayed  about concerning the travel of my dad and his friends one day. Well, I found out later they were almost in a wreck.

2.Probably no more than a month or so ago dad dropped us off at a little shopping center (there was a Save alot and dollar store there) while he went to go help his friend…

I know I'm not suppose to be afraid but I'm confused.

You probably know about the JW problem. Most of that has been settled when it comes to their "questions"...most.

I'm in a daze. There's some preacher shows mom likes. I don't know if I'm allowed to put the names. Problem is they're false...I don't know how to tell mom...especially with the one she's watching now. :( She may get suspecious especially since I've watched the one with her kind of often(I just…

We have times that challenge us. Our abilities must be put to the test. As a matter of fact, going through those times will bring us closer to who we really are. This is Truth and Wisdom. Everyone who participates in life, goes through these times. However, those who are part of the Body of Christ, possess the greatest of all Powers. WE ARE LOVED BY, GOD THE FATHER; GOD THE SON; GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Psalm 51:8 Let…

Have you ever stopped to think about how many people you know, how many people you encounter in the course of your comings and goings, who want to find meaning and purpose for their lives?  (Read that sentence again.)  Friend, people are dying for the peace, hope and meaning we find in Jesus Christ. …

People dont want to hear the truth, no matter what it is, because they're not seeking truth. They're not open to truth. They wont acknowledge their sin, and they aren't interested in a savior, so they just sit back and criticize or get angry. Some people refuse to accept gospel truth before they even hear it.
