Our Lord wanted us to know joy through Him, and the short list of H...

Motherhood and serving Christ as a mother figure to others is a calling of epic proportions. The depth of responsibility and wisdom necessary to honor the gift of birthing and /or mentoring others is immense.

To my ears, the word, shepherd , in the English language, sounds beautiful when spoken aloud.

Amen and Alleluia to the King!

Reading the Holy Word of God is the literal investment of a lifetime. With each offering of our hearts as we spend time contemplating this gift He left us, we develop our relationship with Him.

Music in its many forms definitely qualifies as worship to The Creator . Multiple scriptural references exist regarding singing and instruments utilized to honor God in the Old and New Testaments. Evolving through history, modes of music change but the hearts of those offering their musicianship have not. As the Little Drummer Boy once said, "I give my gifts for Him!"

The Bible speaks that God patiently waits as He knocks on the door of our hearts for an invitation to enter. The journey to know Christ begins with the first bold step to INVITE HIM IN.

For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and the one who knocks, the...
