Your Prayers Requested

What if???

Mark 13:35- You, too, must keep watch! For you don't know when the Master of the household will return-in the evening, at midnight, before dawn, or at daybreak. Don't let Him find you sleeping when He arrives without warning. I say to you what I say to everyone: Watch …

Bye, Bye 08

Wow! what a year this has been. I can't believe it is already over. Looking back over my life it is very clear that 99 and 08 were the 2 toughest years of my life by a country mile. 99 was the year of my transplant and many near death experiences that Lord knows He only …

The Year of Clarity

Run to Win

With all that has been going in recent months (and years) with the election and the talk of "running for office" there has been a revelation brewing in my spirit concerning our eternal race. In 1 Cor. 9:24-27 we are exhorted by Paul to not only run the race of salvation …
