I've always loved reading, watching documentaries, and listening to lectures about the American Civil War. It is a black mark on our history, yet also an example of true faith.

President Abraham Lincoln held fast to his Christian faith that our country would not be divided in half. In March of 1864, he…

Lord, I'm sorry I'm this way...

I have anxiety attacks. You need people with faith. My faith isn't too strong...

You like it when Your children fellowship. Too many people are the reason I can get an anxiety attack. Why do I seem so useless...

You need people who's strong in witnessing...I'm a timid mouse...

Why am I this way...

Excuse me, I had to take sometime and hold my bear. That way it would help me not cry. I don't…

Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful for the wonderful ways in which You take care of me. I do appreciate Your watchcare over my family and friends. Lord, I do desire to remain humble in my dealings with others who oppose me. Give me Your grace and wisdom when I must handle controversy. May I be humble when I am tested in this way and trust You to defend me instead of getting into contention with others. Lord, bless those who are reading this today and strengthen them to do Your will. I…

Do you ever feel like you are losing your patience with someone or something?  You know that point at which you begin to boil on the inside and you are trying so hard to suppress it and keep it in.  Maybe sometimes you erupt!  Remember this next time:

"Every time you feel like you're losing your patience, remember how patient God has been with you all your life."

Dear Heavenly Father, I thank you so much for your mercy on me when I have made wrong choices in my life, out of my own rebellion. Thank you for giving me the eyes to see my folly and repent of it and turn back to You. Lord, I ask for the grace to continue to walk in wisdom. Help me to be humble when I am corrected, and not to think of myself more highly than I ought to. Let me hear Your words when you speak to me, through whatever means you may use. Bless all of those…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for teaching me Your Word. Help me to always obey it as I know that You bless all who adhere to Your commandments. Forgive me when I fail You, and give me the grace to forgive those who have offended and sinned against me. Lord, help me guard my mouth, and not to repeat things that are not edifying to others. Help me to be a peacemaker. Lord, may I never be guilty of taking a bribe. Lord, may all the gifts I give to others be totally given in…

I know I've been difficult with things I've put about my life. I ask forgiveness to anyone who I may have hurt. I hope whoever's been hurt, please except my apoligie. I don't want to be a stumbling block to anyone let alone a brother or sister in Christ.

I thank Jesus and I thank you guys for being pacient.

Life can be quite complicated. And, not having brothers and sisters face to face can be challenging. That's why AAG is so importent to…

Has it ever seemed the weight of the world was on your shoulders? It seems like that for me.

When your flesh is so vicious and unkind in your life. When it shows no mercy.

When Satan sees that you're weak and gives another kick, kicking you when you're down (that's when he's really likely to show up). When he fires vicious attacks.

When sin surounds you. While, even talking about it, the sin is once again comitted.

When life is…

Dear Heavenly Father, I am thankful for all that You have given me. Lord, forgive this generation of families that have failed one another. Restore the breaches in families and homes. Give the children a submissive spirit toward their parents and speak to them to honor their mothers and fathers. Give the fathers and mothers the love and wisdom that they need to minister to their children. Heal those relationships and restore the broken homes . Heal our land O Lord. I ask this in…

Born again believers can b oppressed but not possessed. Hence the No weapon formed shall prosper, as Jesus is Lord & the Holy Spirit dwells within us.

Another one: Can a believer lose their salvation.

I learnt no.. they can backslide/fall from Grace.. but the same Grace allows believers to repent & completely turn from their old ways & b 4given. Hence the north from the south, east from the west so I don't remember transgressions or the deepest ocean…

I'm downcasted in spirit. I'm glad Jesus has my restroom anxiety-no I don't want it back. But, now I'm being attacked by something worse. I'm questioning my salvation.

The pain in me is too much to bear....it's hurts so bad. I just want to go be with Jesus. My salvation...my very spirit is in His hands.

There's so much coming at me. I want out of the city and into isolation. Somewhere in the country far from here. Or maybe the woods or a forest...I want to go…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for Your love toward me. Lord, I ask You to place in me the same kind of love you have for the lost and the poor. I pray for the lost and ask You to work in the hearts of those who are seeking for You, yet are looking in the wrong places. Father, I need a tender and understanding heart toward the poor. May I be sensitive to Your leading so that I know where I should give, so that the poor are helped in the right way. Lord, thank You for blessing…

After twenty years, as cursed as I may be

for having learned computerese,

I continue to examine bits, bytes and words

and insure that I'm one of those computer nerds.



Program design, source code and compile

followed by walk-throughs that place me on trial.

There's lots of testing - a means to an end

in hopes of avoiding future production abends.



There are micros, minis and mainframe hardware

which are made to work with in-house and…

To Nature's old self I cling,

although I should be a new creation

and enjoy the blessings that it brings.



I'm bound as a passive prisoner

wholly contained within my soul,

while personal chains constrict even tighter.



Jacob Marley would have been proud,

as I've forged my own binding links

that strangle the life force, which is continually cast down.



The freedom that I crave

won't be obtained by my own strength,

for only the Cross'…

1Tim 1:5 The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. Love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine Faith. Those three things from which Love is expressed. They all tie together. A pure heart. Is a heart that is not divided. One that has clearly chosen a side to represent. A pure heart through Love has a knowledge of Who it serves. A…

Dear Heavenly Father, Thank You for being patient with me in my trials. I have failed many of my tests the first time around, but because of Your love and mercy, I have been given another chance to overcome. Each time You have strengthened me until I have been able to overcome the devil with his temptations. Lord, I do want to be conformed into Your image. It seems so impossible, but You said that with You there is nothing impossible, so I am believing You to do the work in my…
