“Thank God For Friends”
“A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter: he that has found one has found a treasure. There is nothing so precious as a faithful friend and no scales can measure his excellence. A faithful friend is an elixir of life; and those who fear the Lord will find him.” (Sirach 6:14-16) I have been blessed to have had many true friends … Continue reading “Thank God For Friends”
“Healing & Eternal Life”
Originally Posted Feb, 1, 2022 I’m often amazed how the slightest infirmity draws my attention. If I’m feeling good, I don’t usually notice anything…”hey, I’m feeling good”. Yet if any number of things go wrong, “wow…. this is not good”. The “hurt” can run from a paper cut on my finger, to an ingrown toenail, … Continue reading “Healing & Eternal Life”

“Unity —> Life Forevermore”

“Death Shall be No More”
My brothers were born on August 17th, a year apart the same date. My mother once mentioned that she could have been induced and I would may have also been born on August 17th…..one birthday party for all three boys. Even after many years, she almost fainted at the thought. So I was born 6 days … Continue reading “Death Shall be No More”
“Hunger For God’s Will”
Sometimes I can quickly profess agreement to the words of scripture …. “oh yes, that’s very true…I agree with that… I certainly believe and follow that”. While this is a good thing, at times I may be “kidding myself”. Today I read where Jesus said, “My food is to do the will of the one who … Continue reading “Hunger For God’s Will”
“I Can Only Give Away What I Have”
Believe it or not, at times I can find myself being critical. It can range from the trivial to the significant…… “ why is that guy driving so slowly, speed it up Bub, ……. can you imagine anyone painting a house that color, they must be color-blind, bla,bla,bla.” Even if the critical thought doesn’t escape my … Continue reading “I Can Only Give Away What I Have”
“We Need To Be Encouraged”
Originally Posted Jan. 27, 2022 Have you ever been “discouraged, or down”, or even depressed” ? Well, probably a better question would be “has anyone ever NOT been discouraged or down?
