 Live and love with an eternal perspective. 

  I can't tell you why you're walking through this valley I can't tell you just how long you've got to stay I can't tell you why your heart feels so unsettled Or when this all will change But I can tell you there is something you can lean on It's a promise that won't bend and it won't break It will keep you when the future isn't certain you're not out of grace When the darkness overwhelms you, and the fear just won't subside When your questions out weigh answers, on those long and lonely nights When you've got to keep on moving, He is with you in the valley of despair and He won't leave you there He is with you when you think you just won't make it and He is right there when it looks like hope is lost You're gonna find out He's nothing less than faithful So keep holing on, keep holding on When the darkness overwhelms you, and the fear just won't subside When your questions out weigh answers, on tho...

  We Belong Together So much energy is spent on trying to be different than others. This divides us as is intended. Some have been sold on the idea of previous generations being this or that. The truth is we are all this or that. You can call a pig a kitten but sooner or later that kitten will find the mud. What if we spent that same energy on trying to not be the same but excepting everyone as they are? Respecting each other’s differences by looking for what we have in common. Understanding that everyone has a different history that determined who they are now. You weren’t there so who are you to judge? When people start putting labels on others, they are just trying to deflect people from seeing who they really are. Everyone makes mistakes! Everyone can be judged and found guilty. Remember people are individuals and should not be lumped into groups. You would be wrong to say all of those type people are like this or that. Take each person one by one and see if they are friend m...

    Saturday (In a dark locked room the events of yesterday replay in Peter’s mind) I woke up this morning in disbelief of everything that happened yesterday. I am so ashamed that I didn't do anything to help Him. I can still see the nails being driven in his hands and feet. He suffered greatly! No man should go through that. I don’t know if they will come for the rest of us or not. I’m kind of lost right now. I don’t know what to do next. For the last three years I followed Him and saw so many miracles performed. I thought if He can do all that surely, He can save Himself. It was like He wanted to suffer like that. Like He had a mission or something. I should have fought for Him! But there were so many soldiers. Still I should have done something! I can’t believe I told Him I would lay down my life for Him and then I denied Him three times. I thought they would turn on me. What was it He said the other night? He said He was leaving and where He was going, I could not go. Was...

  We Are One   Galatians 28-29 MSG   In Christ’s family there can be no division into Jew and non-Jew, slave and free, male and female. Among us you are all equal. That is, we are all in a common relationship with Jesus Christ. Whatever the bible says before the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is has been replaced with a new way. All are included! All are equal! All of us did nothing to earn this. All of us sinners are forgiven because of what Jesus did. The sacrifice He made gave us freedom and redemption. Nothing we ever did or will do can do this. Let’s not divide ourselves into any label except the one of Christianity. Your sin is no greater than my sin. I will not worry about or judge another’s sin as I have way too much of my own to worry about. Let’s lift each other up. Root for each other. Defend each other. The devil can only gain through our loss. The devil will try to divide us, make us hate each other and want to hurt each other. We are s...
