“For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome. For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world- our faith.”
Just that last part, that our faith in Christ is that powerful… just wow

Well, my man had headed off to a country bar for the evening:) Or should I say my cowboy. He bought a pair of cowboy boots and has a new found love for country music, and I couldn’t be happier :) While my “cowboy” is out living it up, I’ve decided to read two really good books, one with a 6 month training plan to running a marathon. I’ll make a running schedule, and...

You don't know how good you have it.
Familiar with adversity? Isn’t everyone? Especially you, right?
Faced with challenge? I bet you are. Or, more accurately, I bet you think you are.
Isn’t every day a struggle? Isn’t the entire population out to see you undone? Isn’t it all about you all the time?

Whether its your parent, significant other, etc.,no one should have a right to control these things. Without venturing beyond known and comfortable borders to places in which one desires, one feels as though...

James Holmes
Who is the Joker? Identified as a vicious, psychopathic, calculating killer, his use of jokes and irony to murder on a mass scale does not seem far off from James Holmes, which I’m sure he is well aware of. Ironically, the neurologically disturbed man was one of six to be selected to receive grants to study neurological disorders. He has absolutely no criminal record. Before carrying out his...

What are we?
We are all visitors to this time, this place.
We are just passing through.
Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love…..

salvation never needed a soul who was perfect clean and whole unto itself, but one that was empty, broken and alone ruled by the tyrannical fear that cause it to cry for the sake of love, either real or fake salvation was my balm, a sacred psalm, a kiss of hope
