  • Seasons Part 1

    Seasons Part 1 “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 (KJV) Autumn. It’s my favorite season. Some of the highlights of this period are the cooler weather; shorter days; school is back in session for a new year;…

  • “Are You Okay?”

    “Are You Okay?” My son Kevin Jr has a kind heart and will on numerous occasions ask this question to anyone who he feels is hurting in some way. God created us to love Him and to love one another. (Matthew 22: 37-39 KJV) There are many ways to love others: Helping someone with a…

  • Just in Time

    Just in time God does not keep time as we do. He always existed and has no end. Jesus said in Revelation 22:13 (KJV) “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Our Distractions vs His Peace Let’s face it. A large majority of our lives will have…

  • Don’t Stop Praying

    Don’t Stop Praying What is prayer? A Google search reveals that “in Christianity, prayer is a way for people to communicate with God, and is considered central to the Christian life. It can be a two-way conversation where people both speak to and listen to God, and can be spoken, silent, or sung.” PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 KJV “Do…

  • Rest

    Rest Rest. It’s something most of us would like, but many times we don’t take the time to do it. We live in a fast-paced world. It seems there is always one more job, project, or responsibility we must complete. Each of us has 24 hours each day, but for some of us, there still…

  • Eggceptional Peace

    Eggceptional Peace Yes, as my online spellcheck is telling me, the correct spelling is Exceptional Peace. I purposely spelled it “egg” because of inspired thoughts from the Holy Spirit while I was peeling hard-boiled eggs for my daughter’s breakfast. Normally, I like to purchase already boiled and peeled eggs from the grocery store. This is…
