“There is a difficulty about disagreeing with God. He is the source from which all your reasoning power comes: you could not be right and He wrong any more than a stream can rise higher than its own source. When you are arguing against Him you are arguing against the very power that makes you [...]

Like a majority of the population it is necessary for me to work full time to help pay bills. I fantasize now and again about walking away from the daily grind but it’s just not time yet. I imagine it must be rewarding for those who can actually see some progress at the end of [...]

A recent music cd I picked up has some pretty aggressive worship music and it truly appeals to the fighter in me. A lyric sings out “history belongs to those who pray”. Wow, what a concept!

My husband and I enjoy taking photos but I have to admit he is the more patient one when trying to get the right shot. I figure I’ll blaze away and hope for the best. These days I don’t grab my camera enough. I have become spoiled knowing Bobby is always carrying one. He indulges [...]
