“I Need Thee Every Hour”

Lightning
Saw this in USA Today on January 14th. First thing that came to mind: "For the Son of Man in his day will be like the lightning, which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other." (Luke 17:24) As impressive as this photo is, I cannot imagine what's coming when Christ … Continue reading Lightning
“Killing Jesus: A History”
For those who love history, you'll love O'Reilly's & Dugard's book, "Killing Jesus" - especially with Easter on the horizon. From the authors: "This is not a religious book.

During the previews, the following movies were advertised, one right after the other: “Son of God”, “Heaven is for Real,” and … Continue reading “Behold, I Am Coming Soon”
The Distance Between Peace & Crazy
I love the Bible. It's unedited. Unsanitized. Emotional. Real. As I read it, I read about God. And myself. All 66 books comprise God's "love letter" to mankind. And, within His "letter" we're reminded that God used real-life, ordinary people to pen the words God wanted written down.
