December 16, 2017 “And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him, Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is become of him.” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭32:1‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/exo.32.1.asv At this time of year, the craziness takes over.  It used to be a jolly season, now it seems like a mad rush season. When we rush around trying to make things special we sometimes overlook the true meaning. Like the people Moses led…

December 13, 2017 “Sad day! This is suppose to be a picture of a nativity scene. All of ours are still packed away with all of our Christmas decorations in storage. I went to the store to buy one and guess what, they don’t sell nativity scenes!!! I didn’t make it to a Christian store yet, and I wanted to take my own picture, not use one from the internet. So my mission for the season? You got it! Track down nativity scenes. I’ll post pics as I find them!!” “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and…

December 4, 2017 “then the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.” Genesis 2:7 Have you ever thought about how God made us? He made man out of dust. Then to give man life He breathed into the mans nostrils. Then He formed woman from the rib of the man that He made from dust. If you sit and meditate on these truths a while, it’s amazing what we can learn about God and us. I can go all over the board with this, my mind is going crazy with thoughts…

November 22, 2017 “I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart; I will show forth all thy marvellous works.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭9:1‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/psa.9.1.asv A special day to stop and give thanks for all we have. Personally I could go on and on about the blessings God has given. How our attitude changes when we change focus off the negative and onto the positive. I would like to give a challenge if I may, to make a list of 10 things you are thankful for. It can be anything, small or silly or huge, anything. It would be cool to post it here on this blog, but keeping it private…

November 21, 2017 “But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”  Mathew 6:6 Haha!!! OK, here it goes…you’re either going to be disgusted by this or have the laugh of your day! I said I was going to be real and revealing in this blog, so here it goes… If you’ve been reading my prayer blogs you may remember the blog about prayer closets. I said that I had been envious of others prayer closets. I also said that I realized that my prayer closet is my car.…

November 11, 2017 “But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/act.1.8.asv I just love taking pictures of the sky. The only problem is, the pictures never do it justice. At least the ones I take. This picture of the clouds with streams of light peaking through is among some of the breathtaking views I’ve experienced. I chose this verse because it describes how this scene made me feel. It’s like the Holy Spirit was coming down from Heaven and everyone could…

November 5, 2017 “But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/act.1.8.asv “He giveth power to the faint; and to him that hath no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭40:29-31‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/isa.40.29-31.asv The…

October 29, 2017 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all generations for ever and ever. Amen.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3:20-21‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/eph.3.20-21.asv To some, the title of this blog is very obvious. Yet others, well believe it or not, this title is either very foreign or makes them angry. Yes I know, I cannot  understand why this title would make anybody angry. Yet it does, and who am I to judge? Judge you may ask. Let me explain. A few years ago…

October 19, 2017 “The God that made the world and all things therein, he, being Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; neither is he served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;” ‭‭Acts‬ ‭17:24-25‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/act.17.24-25.asv This verse made me really think, dig deep inside my head and heart and think. I’m thinking I have to do something for God. That He needs my help. As I read over my journals, both in paper and electronicly I see a common theme. Me trying to know what God wants of me, and…

October 15, 2017 “Come now therefore, and I will send thee unto Pharaoh, that thou mayest bring forth my people the children of Israel out of Egypt. And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?” ‭‭Exodus‬ ‭3:10-11‬ ‭ASV‬‬ http://bible.com/12/exo.3.10-11.asv  I’ve been thinking a lot lately of what God wants me to do. There’s a lot of desire and stirring in my soul to move forward. This picture is from one of our journeys across America last year. The clouds speak to me. I see a large Eagle 🦅 with its wings…
