Good Morning All
Well today everyone in the family should be finally converging upon the great state of New Jersey. My Uncle died monday night at 8:30 pm. I visited my mom that morning where she proceded to do to me what she always does. I did not handle it well. I mean I lost my [...]

A Mini Vacation a Happy Thought, or it should be…

July 23, 2008

This should be a vacation for me. I have never been on vacation. Not a real, hotel stay vacation! Laughably I just spent the last few days trying to get ready and packed.

He provided me with escape today.

The cry before the Song of Ascent…

July 14, 2008

I am tired of living here among people who hate peace. I am for peace and when I speak peace they, my family, cry out in anger and war with me.

I will look to God…He alone is my help and shelter.

Matthew 7:12 Do unto others what you would have done unto you…the Golden Rule.

When we delight in the Lord, He gives us the desire and secret petitions of our hearts.
