The Struggle with God’s Will ..Finding my Place

One of the most frustrating things in life that most of us have experienced is being lost. Not knowing where you are and trying to find an address or location in an unfamiliar area. There are times we may know where we are but haven’t the foggiest idea of where “they” or “it” is. IContinue reading “The Struggle with God’s Will ..Finding my Place”

The Struggle With Prayer…… Finding answers

“God is good, God is great, thank you for our food, amen.” This was the first prayer I learned to pray. It was taught to me by my parents long before I started school. My brother and I used to argue over whose turn it was to pray, both of us wanting to lead out.Continue reading “The Struggle With Prayer…… Finding answers”

The Struggle and Finding Truth

Many people do not realize that Pontius Pilate asked, “What is truth?” during his inquest of Jesus Christ.

Every January, a strong renesting instinct comes over me to re-establish my external order. It is accompanied byContinue reading “Off With The Old”

It is usually accompanied by the universal sound of “shush” and followed up with aContinue reading “Things That Go Bump In The Night”

The Nest of Rest

Whoever Dwells in the Shelter of the Most-High WILL REST in the shadow of the Almighty, I will say of the LORD. “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.” A fast hard rule growing up in the Phillips household was upon arising, you made your bed — period.
