  • God is in the Waiting

  • Strength in Character

    Strength in Character The word “strength” evokes images of robustness, emphasizing physical attributes, but I’d like to focus on how “strength” is defined in terms of endurance and power in other situations.

  • His Watchful Eye

    Who Is My Neighbor/ “According to Jesus, your neighbor is anyone in need, regardless of their background or relationship to you. Jesus illustrated this with the Parable of the Good Samaritan, where a Samaritan, traditionally an outsider, showed compassion to a wounded traveler, and the traveler was the Samaritan’s neighbor.” 1 Luke 10: 29-37 (KJV).  These photos…
