Justice

Justice is something we all seek. We want to be treated fairly. When we buy a product, we expect it to live up to everything its package promises. Buying food, we expect it to be edible. After depositing money in the bank, we expect it to be there when we want to withdraw it. Lately,Continue reading “Justice”

It’s Coming

An Impossible Dream?

Some have said, “If life gives you lemons, make lemonade”. I’ve never been a fan of that advice. Sometimes life doesn’t give you lemons, but something much worse.

It’s Bigger Than You

I recently fell into a problem, that I didn’t first recognize as a problem. Then suddenly what I was facing became very obvious. I immediately repented of not coming to the LORD before walking into what now appeared to be quicksand. Then I berated myself. How could I not have recognized this!

Finding Peace

Did you fail? Do others fail you? Does peace seem like a pipe dream? Sometimes we see all that’s wrong in our world and think, “I can do something about this.” And most often we do. If the milk is spilt, we clean it up. If a chair needs fixed, we get to work. ThereContinue reading “Finding Peace”
