Do what you can. – Arthur Ashe Peter said, “I don’t have a nickel to my name, but what I do have, I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk!” He grabbed him by the right hand and pulled him up. In an instant his feet and ankles became firm. He jumped to his feet and walked. – Acts 3:6-8...

What would happen if I started giving in spite of what I need? What would happen if I stop making everything about me and consider others? What would happen if I started praying for those who hurt or annoy me instead of rehearsing every offense for days after it’s done? What would happen if I took a break from things that overwhelm or distract me and...

Just when I thought I had Christianity all figured out.  When I had my faith wrapped tight, in the presence of my thoughts.     .....I study the Word.   And everything changes.   I am taken back.  Blown away.  What do you know!?  There it is.  In bold.  The power of "Sozo"!!   http://richfaithrising.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-power-of-sozo.html

Although I had written screenplays and other works, I just had too...

I must be doing it wrong, this life thing. Trouble seems to follow everywhere I go. I can’t get it right no matter how hard I try. And I try way too hard most of the time. I travel in circles. I think I’ve made progress in certain places, only to look up and find myself right back where I started. And it’s tiring— some days I want to quit....

  As soon as hubby drove out the driveway, I started my daily housewifely duties: picking up his socks and turning them right side out, turning off the lights he left on, closing the doors and cabinet doors he left open, putting his dishes in the sink, and whatever else I could find that he had done or left undone.

Daniel 10: 12-13 – Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.

  Kudzo Plant   Travelling through Kentucky and Tennessee I saw this beautiful lush green plant. Majestically growing up the side of trees, houses and barns. It was everywhere.
