Its been along time since I've been here. My blog house has been very empty. I'm thinking and praying about what I shall do with it. I've missed it a little but not much. I believe I've let life get in the way of what I enjoy most. I will share that I've decided to do my 3 books again and I'm mediatating on scripture too. I need to work on getting my thoughts and life back in order, it has been

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations.... Matthew 28:19This scripture was the one resounding through my head as I prayed about enrolling in Bible School for the 2nd year. I wanted to go and knew that it would be good for me to go. However, there was no $$ to go. I found myself praying alot about it til one day a close friend told me to apply for a scholarship. I didn't even knew they had a

"A family without a commitment to the God of the Bible has no hope of stemming the tide of cultural onslaught. If we mix a little biblical truth, a little secular physchology, a little romance novel idology, and a little eastern mysticism, we will get a deadly mixture of lies. Unfortunately, this is what many Christian families do . . . If we are to experience multigeneraltional faithfulness we

"Praying is no easy matter. It demands a relationship in which you allow someone other than yourself to enter into the very center of your person, to see there what you would rather leave in darkness, and to touch there what you would rather leave untouched. Why would you really want to do that?"~ Henri Nouwen ~

This morning’s devotional writer talked about the “Chimes of Praise.” He mostly pointed us to creations praise of our Lord ~ sounds you hear outside your window everyday but may not have noticed or even recognized as praise. He goes on to illustrate how at the first of August you hear more clearly the insects then you did before especially the locust. How the birds are either tired or to full and
