You’ve heard, I’m sure, the saying “like a fish out of water,” but have you ever felt that way? A time when you knew you were out of your element, you had no idea what was happening, everything was beyond your control.

Shackles
There are many ways law enforcement control prisoners. The most frequent way we see is handcuffs, but sometimes shackles are used to move prisoners. Shackles were also used on slaves to make sure they didn’t escape. There is another way shackles are used, one we all know whether we realize it or not. Yesterday, our… Continue reading Shackles

Just Like Us
Sometimes I think we forget Jesus was a human who felt deep emotions and pain… just like us. In Matthew 14, one of Jesus’ disciples, John, is beheaded. When Jesus learns of the news, He goes away to be alone. I can’t help but wonder what He was feeling and doing. Most certainly He was… Continue reading Just Like Us

If God is for us, who can ever be against us? Since he did not spare even his own Son but gave him up for us all, won’t he also give us everything else?

One of the tunnels is beautiful with its stone arch formation and green overgrowth hanging down. I read something this morning about tunnels. It said don’t… Continue reading Tunnels
The Middle
There’s a television show that ran from 2009 to 2018 called ‘The Middle.’ It was about a middle class family that lived in the middle of the United States. Most episodes were funny, but some were just a reminder of how bad the American family has become. Sometimes when I walk, the road is very… Continue reading The Middle

The world today is so lost. All we have to do is turn on the news and see all the sickness, both physical and mental but especially spiritual. But there’s hope. But you, my dear friends, must remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ predicted. They told you that in the last times there… Continue reading Hope
