The ‘happily optimistic, preferred expectation’ Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Hope, as we usually use it,  and faith are different. While I love hoping for things, and love being around people who give me hope, it doesn’t come close […]

Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. To be willing to die for something puts everything else into perspective.  Make sure you are willing to lay your life down for Jesus only. As Christians, we must not fear death.   Live this life as a living sacrifice to […]

Hebrews 10:17 “And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.” I try to be like Jesus.  People laugh, but that’s Gods promise and He does not forget.  He is not capable of forgetting, but He does choose to ‘not remember’ because He loves us.   And He is going to conform us into the ‘Image’ […]

But Jesus ignored her.Matthew 15:23 (MSG) I often get accused of ignoring things.  Ignoring things isn’t putting your head in the sand, or being naive or irresponsible.  In fact it’s the opposite. There are things that need to be paid attention to, and things to be ignored.  If you pay attention to everything, at best […]

To know the truth it is important to be like any scientist and ask who, what, where, when and why. In Miami right now, getting checked out by the best.  Unfortunately I will be here for over a month.  Pray for Winnie and the team while I am gone.  They are doing a great job!! […]
