God Is Here

Tomorrow, August 21st, will mark a special event in the United States of America.  A total Solar Eclipse will cross from the Pacific to the Atlantic.  Some Scientists have noted that this solar event could only occur because some creative force has put it in place.  I believe that God is reminding us that He is there overseeing the universe as He always has.  I have now lived 6 decades on this third rock from the sun.  One thing I have learned during that time is the more I think I know the more I realize I understand very little.  But one truth has followed me through those years.  There is a God.  More amazing than that is that He sent His Son, Jesus to the World.  And then add to that Yeshua came to rescue and deliver us through His shed blood on the Cross.  He has always been there throughout my life in the good and the bad.  He is the only Hope for this World torn with sin, hatred and pain.  As the shadow passes tomorrow across our land God is telling us, "I'm still here and I love you."

Losing All But Jesus...

I have lived almost 6 decades on earth.  I have lost in many different ways.  I have lost loved ones to death.  I have lost in love going through a divorce.  I lost a position and career in The Salvation Army because of that divorce.  I have lost many games and other things I don't even remember.  But I have never lost Jesus.  He has always been there.  Even when I was far from Him and chasing other "brass rings" He has always been there.  I am the one who was lost.  Jesus has always been there.  Thank you Lord, for your grace and mercy...

Unity

10 I appeal to you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another in what you say and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly united in mind and thought.

1 Corinthians 1:10

Prayer

"When we kneel before our God, bow our heads and pray heartfelt, fervent prayers, we connect with God, and He with us, in a very real and powerful way.

During His time on earth Jesus had much to say about prayer, and He lived it out in an intimate relationship with His Heavenly Father" - Author Unknown
