Matthew 14:27-31 “Jesus spoke to them at once. ‘Don’t be afraid,’ he said. ‘Take courage. I am here!’ Then Peter called to him, L’ord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.’ ‘Yes, come,’ Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the… Read more »

When Life Does Not Make Sense
This last week in Facebook I read a story of a mother who is a believer and yet she felt that God had forsaken her. I was also reminded of a conversation with a man I play golf with when he made a statement, “If there is a God how could he allow my daughter… Read more »
GOD SAVE AMERICA!
This is how I see it, even if you don’t: The Democrats in power (politicians and their faithful media and voters) are afraid of Trump’s popularity due to his ‘successful’ policies that put America first by putting American citizens first, with what WE THE PEOPLE deem traditionally valuable in our lives and clearly supported by… Read more »
Churches are Falling
During my study of the book of Nehemiah I noticed how Nehemiah was attacked for answering the call that God had for his life. As I studied these attacks, I noticed that these are the same attacks we see taking place today. Satan has the way of ‘reusing’ what has worked for centuries. I thought… Read more »
Signs of Our Time
This morning while I was on my walk, I came upon a small creek that dries up during the summer except for some pools. As I investigated the stream, I saw some small fish and thought how they need to move from where they are before it’s too late. If they do not, then they… Read more »

Noah Webster, author of the first American Speller and the first Dictionary stated: “The moral principles and precepts contained in the Scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. . . All the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice, crime, ambition, injustice, oppression, slavery and war, proceed from… Read more »
MEMORIES!
I love my sister (a year younger than I) and her memory of our past growing up. She and I were very close, inseparable. My memory is not detailed like hers. Does that bother me? Nope. The other day when she was texting me about some of her memories and asking me if I remember… Read more »
What Really Changes People
As I have been listening to the talk today, about why some people have entitlements and other do not, I was reminded of something I learned a long time ago. When I got out of high school, I worked for a cabinet shop in Sacramento. One of my first jobs was to go to the… Read more »
