I can't help but notice that a crisis brings about prayer regardless of a catastrophe. I heard no complaints about praying in public when 9/11 happened. I think prayer is vital to us any time. In the tumultuous times of adversity, prayer and trust are so important. Mankind cannot save itself. Man is only a mortal being, but with God, "all things are possible" (Matthew 19:26.) I am thankful for those who pray for others. In the midst of an illness or an emergency many cannot pray for themselves. God's wisdom and strength are... Full story
I love my country and I want it back. I don't want our anthem changed. I don't want my flag disrespected. When I pledge the flag I say, "One Nation Under God." I want my money to have "In God We Trust" on it. Our founding fathers had the wisdom to govern our constitution on biblical principles and these principles have endured for over 200 years.

It is a call to righteousness, to repentance and holiness. We respond by praying as a nation together. Especially Thursday please be in prayer. It is so easy to take everything for granted. Otherwise it can be eventually...
Do you like to look at old family pictures? It seems I have had to do a lot of that lately. Sorting through family photos is hard for me. I go through the gamut of emotions with joy, laughter and tears. I also have a profound realization of the brevity of time. It seems only a few years ago I was planning my grandparents' 60th wedding anniversary party. Surely it was only yesterday that I was giving my parents a 50-anniversary celebration. Looking through family photos reminds me of my spiritual heritage I will never take...
