Hello readers! I promise I didn't mean to make this another series. But fasting, prayer, and discernment seem to be a theme in the book of Acts. Here are some verses: Acts 13:2-3: "As they were worshipping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work … Continue reading Fasting, Prayer, and Discernment: “Seek the Lord for Wisdom”, Pt. 2
Joel 2:28-29: "Then afterward I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.

Joshua 9:14 - "So the leaders partook of their provisions, and did not ask direction from the LORD."

He (Saul) asked, "Who are you, Lord?" The reply … Continue reading Think About These Things – Pt. 4
I don't know how long this series will last, but this is what I wrote yesterday.

This verse comes from a larger passage, … Continue reading Think About These Things – Pt. 3
This is the second post in my Facebook transfer series. This one is from Saturday, April 24, 2020. "Psalm 46:10 - 'Be still, and know that I am God. I am exalted among the nations, I am exalted in the earth.' Stillness. Letting Go and letting You do what You do. Don't rush, don't work, … Continue reading Think About These Things – Pt. 2
Hey...so long no see! (That looks weird, even though I've been hearing it as a greeting all my life...) I want to share a couple of meditations that I posted on Facebook that should really be recorded here--at least for my own records. So if you've read these already, they're pretty much redundant. The first … Continue reading Think About These Things – Pt. 1
Hi everyone! I wanted to share a prayer for everyone affected by Coronavirus COVID-19, which is pretty much everyone.
