I’m Thankful For…

The unconditional love of my Saviour and Lord, Jesus Christ.            
His forgiveness.
His mercy.
His understanding.
His grace.
His patience.

I am thankful that He does not give up on me, even though I often want to give up on myself.  I’m thankful that He is understanding, when I am not.  I’m grateful that He has soooo much more patience [...]

Kid’s Comments

My kids are constantly saying humorous things. I just realized today, that I haven’t posted any of their funny comments in a while. I don’t ever want to get too busy, bogged down, or too consumed in daily activities that I forget to take notice of the cute things they say. [...]

We cannot feel the peace within the midst of the [...]

Of course, the whole family is grieving. As I type this late tonight, my heart goes out [...]

How Far Is Heaven?

Heaven
by: Los Lonely Boys
Save me from this prison
Lord help me get away
Cause only you can save me now
From this misery
Cause I’ve been lost in my own place

How far is heaven
And I know I need to change
My ways of livin’
How far is heaven, Lord can you tell me
Cause I’ve been locked up [...]
