Can you believe that we just passed Thanksgiving?  I can't.  This year has flown by.  And I am flabbergasted that it is already November, almost December!. Before this weekend passed me by, I wanted to take this time to give thanks to the Lord, for he is good!   Lord, I want to thank you for my childhood.  I was blessed to have a mom and dad who truly loved me.  They did their best to give me all that they could and ensure that my life could be more than the life in which they were raised.  We camped every weekend and spent every evening together, unless of course I was off with friends or playing sports.  Which almost never a happened. Not! Now don't get me wrong, there were issues, but there was no question that I was loved.  My mom has passed, but I know that she can hear me, so, mom, dad, "Thank you."  I love you both. Lord, for those whose childhood might not be such a happy memory, I would like to lift them up in prayer.  ...

God's Word tells us that he is our Creator (Gen 1:1).  The great "I AM."(Ex 3:14) I believe the bible is God breathed and it is truth to live by. (2 Tim 3:16)  So therefore, I believe in Heaven.  I also believe that our loved ones who have gone before us, are watching over us and are waiting anxiously for us to join them.  They are having a party with our Savior Jesus Christ, while we are down here struggling and being refined like gold, pruned by our Creator.(1 Pet 1:7) I know that many of you have lost loved ones: grand-parents, parents, siblings......children.  And I know you hurt.  Please know that in writing this blog, I am thinking about you.   Asking...
