We are living in scary times. But when tempted to give in to fear, remember Who is in charge – of everything at every time. *** Remember the old days. For I am God; there is no other.I am God; there are no other gods like Me.From the beginning I declare how things will end;from…

Notes from the Journey
Live, Pray, Love
“Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is.You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.” Psalm 39:4-5 NLT *** “This is our…
Light in the Tunnel
“Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.” Desmond Tutu *** Why then be downcast? Why be discouraged and sad? Hope in God! I shall yet praise him again. Yes, I shall again praise him for his help.Psalm 42:5 Living Bible *** Last week, I messaged my doctor…
Hope-Filled
Did yesterday’s song seem a little “chirpy” to you? I know. But right now, I need some chirpy in my life. And the best part of that song, aside from the earworm it leaves, it the hope it engenders. God doesn’t scrap us or our mistakes; He fixes them and us. That is reason for…

Bob Goff

Turns out to be one of the best choices I’ve made recently. So, I bought more of his books. Another great decision. Looks like I’m on a roll! Here are…
By Grace
God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.Ephesians 2:8-9 NLT *** God’s grace is amazing! We’re saved by grace – God’s undeserved…
Being Prepared
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.Ephesians 2:10 NLT *** I am rereading the Restoration book series, suspenseful Christian fiction by Terri Blackstock. In this series of books, all the world’s computer-driven conveniences have crashed to…
“My Life …
… is in Your Hands.” The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.I will advise you and watch over you.Psalm 32:8 NLT *** *** I will be your God throughout your lifetime—until your hair is white with age.I made you, and I will care for you.I will carry you along and…
