Give Thanks

everfaith

It’s been over three months since my last post. (Does that make me sound like a recovering write-a-holic?) Now that summer is in full swing, I hope to write more frequently, as the Lord leads me. Yesterday we had a wonderful time with family, celebrating the birth of our great country. The holiday was even more meaningful to me this year due to a recent encounter I had with a beautiful Ethiopian woman I met at a hair salon. “Saluda” (not her name) ministered to me as she cut my hair, fixing a disastrous haircut I’d just received from an … Continue reading Give Thanks

Springtime Gardening

everfaith

Last Thursday was the first day of spring, which just happens to be my favorite season of the year. It’s a time of new birth and new beginnings. One of my greatest frustrations when we lived in Maryland was that spring came so late in the year compared to Texas. I’m looking outside right now at a bush that has burst into bloom. The Bradford Pear trees have already flowered and are covered with beautiful leaves. The dead grass is daily being replaced with new growth. This is the time of year when my nose runs and my soul soars, … Continue reading Springtime Gardening

My nine year old daughter wrote a beautiful essay about faith yesterday….

Indeed, faith is believing in something that is unseen…it is believing in our God and trusting him to preserve us and our nation.  From Hebrews 11 we learn that: 1Now faith is … Continue reading Conservatives, Have Faith!

Psalm 44 3 It was not by their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was your right hand, your arm, and the light of your face, for you loved them.4 You are my King and my God, who decrees [a] victories for Jacob. All Glory and Honor to you, my King. You have caused media pundits to scratch their heads in befuddlement. You have given a righteous man a slice of victory in this country that was founded by men of God!  You have led the way for Huckabee to win the … Continue reading Victory!

Breath of Life

everfaith

What makes a person, a person? What is it that separates life from death? The first and most important thing I can share with you is that Jesus defeated death. And he promised us that if we just believe in him, that He is the son of God, then we will also be defeaters of death. This is a most urgent message. What happens to you when you die? Have you ever seen someone who has passed away? It is immediately apparent! Everyone…even a family pet…knows right away when someone has died. The change in appearance is as immediate and … Continue reading Breath of Life
