Peace at Thanksgiving…
“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27) It is Thanksgiving time…a holiday depicted by family and friends around a bounteous dinner table with gratitude, laughter and love. And…

“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.’ For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’ For the sake of the house of the LORD our God, I will seek your…
Read MoreOverwhelmed? Try This…
We are in the month of September already, where summer fades and fall begins. It always causes a dichotomous feeling in me…a bit of sadness, even depression, that my favorite season of summer is ending…and an equally strong sense of excitement to reach new dreams and goals (which also brings anxiety.) I think these feelings…

Sometimes I am just like Peter when he attempted to walk to Jesus on the Sea of Galilee…I doubt myself…but luckily Jesus saves me from drowning in despair.
Read MoreA Life-Changing Journey
“Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.” (John 20:29) I had dreamt for at least ten years about going to the Holy Land…the places where Jesus was born, where He walked and talked, healed, prayed and performed miracles.

Read MoreHalfway There
We are halfway through the season of Lent…a six-week journey of repentance, reflection and restoration of our souls so that we are able to greet the Lord’s resurrection on Easter Sunday with renewed spirits and complete joy. It coincides with the forty days Jesus spent in the desert when he was tempted by Satan, and…
Read MoreLoss and Love
I write this with a sad yet hopeful heart. My dad passed away and went to be the Lord a little over a week ago. I am sad he is gone but hopeful, joyful even that he is most certainly in a better place in heaven. How am I so sure? I have faith…and know…
Read MoreWord for 2023: Strength
“I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” (Phil. 4:13) The New Year is already underway. Time just goes by faster and faster as you get older. I for one am ready to plunge into 2023 and leave 2022 behind. Not that the past year was bad…actually as I reflect on it, 2022…
