She is a great mommy and the glue that keeps us together. Here are some pics of my girls. Hope you enjoy.

Everlasting Hope

As I watch television news, read the newspaper and listen to talk radio it doesn't take me long at all to realize that this world is in need of serious hope. Not temporary hope that the lottery or drug addiction may give and not false hope that the government offers. What this world needs is an authentic hope. One that never fades. Does such a hope exist? That seems to be the billion dollar bail out question these days.

On September 17, 1993 I found this everlasting hope. It was in the last place I was looking for it. I found it in the pages of scripture. Romans 15:4 For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Only God could give me this hope. That is exactly what He did when I surrendered my life to Him through the finished work of Jesus Christ.

For all of us who have found this hope, the question we need to ask ourselves is what are we doing with it. I believe it is a sin for us to keep it to our self. We most likely not going to change the world overnight, but we can start with our own circle of influence.

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

God Is Great!!!

God is Great!!! When all is going well, God is great. When all seems lost, God is great. Our circumstances do not define who God is. He is great and He will always be. One of the definitions that Webster uses for the word great is "notably large in size : huge". God is definitely huge. He is bigger than anything and everything going on in our lives. In fact, He is bigger than life itself. No matter what comes our way. No matter how deep the mess is that we sometimes find our self in, we need to try to remember that God is always and will forever be GREAT!!! Psalm 95:3 says...For the Lord is a great God, a great King above all gods. For that reason alone, He is more than worthy of a life of worship that brings Him glory.
