Jesus is The Way Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6 (NIV) For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7:8 (NIV)

Invite Him Into Your Past “Redeem Your Timeline”  is the title of Pastor Troy Brewer’s new book. He was a guest on Sid Roth – It’s Supernatural, in January this year. Pastor  Brewer said, “Jesus can help you change the way the past affected you.” JESUS WAS ALREADY THERE!! Jesus said, I am the Beginning and the End. Revelation 22:13 To paraphrase Pastor Brewer’s message: We can invite the manifest presence of God into our past timeline – our past events that torture us now with guilt, shame, and regret. Whenever Christ redeems, He changes a curse into a blessing, dead things into live things, where there was shame there can be honor. The Messiah builds an amazing relationship with us. Jesus says,  quoting Pastor Brewer:   “Now for every place in your life that looks like hell, I want it to look like heaven.” HE WAS THERE!  I JUST

How are You?  I am fine, but I am also sad. It has been twenty-four days since my last posting. I feel like I have been spinning clockwise down the drain, and yet… You have been with me. I have felt Your comfort, Your peace, Your love, and Your JOY! But in the midst of all this craziness, how can I suggest to others that they feel it too? Our country became violent, abusive, nasty, and warlike as Election Day approached. Now that it’s over, it’s not really over – there was intentional fraud and deceit, supported by illegal activity going back years, involving other countries! Now, this week, Covid is reignited.  Reported cases escalate back to former peak numbers! Again, people are hoarding supplies in fear. Movie theaters, restaurants, and stadiums are closed; colleges and high schools cannot hold in person classes; families are being asked to limit attendance

My First Responder I woke up feeling punk.  It was Monday. It was gloomy. I didn’t want to get out of bed. I tried to snuggle deeper into the covers — instead a dark cloud covered me!  I felt unworthy – a total failure. I listed the reasons:  I can’t stick to my diet plan, I can’t take time to clear off my garden, I need to rake leaves, my best friend is having issues – I want to help her but I don’t know how. Eventually I got up, made coffee, fed the cats, got my breakfast ready, turned on Joyce. Oh no!  I didn’t have God Time yesterday!!  I now have TWO DAYS of E. Stanley Jones to trudge through (sometimes he is difficult for me to understand). After Joyce, I brought my studies into the kitchen and opened Mornings With Jesus. On Sunday’s page, Alice Thompson wrote

It’s The Future of Our Country & Your Family I grew up in ultra conservative Hillsdale, Michigan – home of the esteemed Hillsdale College. Back in June, I wrote to you about my esteemed High School English teacher, Mr. Ketrow.  He made everything interesting for me but I continue to value this lesson: Be aware of the propaganda promoted by politicians and media as though it were fact!  Think about it!!   (He was ahead of his time – “Fake News”.)  Are you following the news on One America News or Newsmax Channels? Do you know that it has been proven that the Obama Administration used taxpayer money to oust Netanyahu in Israel’s 2016 election!  All that, while they falsely claimed that Trump used a Russia connection to win OUR election!! In June, I told you about “My Hero”, Ronnie Reagan, and his stand on major issues.  Here is President Reagan’s

This Purpose is For You!Tell Them About Him! “God has a purpose to make you the best that you can be. God has a plan that embodies that purpose.  God has a plan for every life.  The next step is for you to be the person for carrying out that purpose and that plan.”  E. Stanley Jones, Abundant Living, pg 253  If you’re reading this, you’re looking for ways to talk with your young people about Jesus – you want them to get to know Jesus. Through these Scriptures from Jeremiah Ch 1, you will learn that you are empowered by God to speak The Truth of your heart – The Truth is Jesus. As I read these, it seems like God is speaking to me.  He is speaking to you, too! “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;    I

From Challenge to Opportunity During this Covid Craziness, Pastor Paul Daugherty has been delivering some thought-provoking, inspiring, and comforting messages.  His enthusiasm ignites my spirit! Paul Daugherty is Pastor of Victory Church in Tulsa, Oklahoma. His service is televised on the Hillsong channel on Saturday. He has been coaching us about fear throughout this pandemic. Here are some excerpts from his message (televised 9/5), along with the Scripture he used. “FEAR – the belief in something that hasn’t happened yet.” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.  Matt 8:26  “Fear is just like a virus – it sucks the life out and goes from person to person.” “The Enemy uses relationships to deplete our energy, to stir up our fear.”  “Attack It!  Talk Back to Fear!” You say “What if…(bad

That’s Our Pledge of Allegiance to Our Flag “One Nation Under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for ALL.” Under God was added to the pledge in 1954*.  In God We Trust was adopted as the official motto of our country in 1956. In the 1950s our nation was recuperating from a hard-fought war.  Many of the soldiers coming home, including my dad, had witnessed the mercy, grace, and power of God.  Our country was proud to be a Christian Nation. Our country was founded on a political statement.  Men of FAITH decided to seek an option other than “serving the King of England”.  They wanted to serveThe One True King – The Lord God Almighty. Every document they wrote was political!  We escaped the service of the King of England and when he tried to keep us under his reign at a distance, we said, “NO WAY!” The “separation
