Daily encouragement for Christians
It is said that the days of having one occupation are gone. I have read that the average worker today will have not just ten jobs but an average of ten occupations during their working years. I was raised to be loyal to the company that provided my living but apparently that rule has fallen […]
Your mind is a battlefield. There is a constant struggle for control of your thoughts and heart. Do you ever let Satan beat you up for the day? Or are you strong enough to stand against his every attack? Recently he had his way with me most of the day. I let him use […]
What does the Sabbath day look like for you? Do you have a day in your week for resting your body and praising your Savior? If so, what day is it? The look and feel of Shabbat (the Sabbath) has changed immensely over the centuries. Until the year 321 A.D. the Sabbath always began at […]
It appears to me that most people have been using their free time lately to do things like binge-watch T.V. while binge-eating and drinking. It also seems to be a big joke to many. Does that behavior seem harmless to you? After all, most of us are supposed to be confined to our homes with […]
I recently heard a police officer being questioned about the biggest issue the department is currently dealing with. He answered: “Domestic violence calls.” I hadn’t thought much about that yet but of course, it made perfect sense. Many of our homes include at least one person, if not an entire household of people, who want […]
Today is Palm Sunday, the beginning of Holy Week for traditional Christian churches. We won’t be observing this day inside the church walls this year.

That is unless you are considered an essential employee, which likely means that you are working harder than ever. Are you concerned for yourself or someone else who is working on the front lines?

I know in my heart that Father called me to be a writer, not of fiction but only truth; as he reveals it to me. It is my habit to meet with him in the pre-dawn hours to discover the message for the day. Some days, like yesterday, I struggle to hear clearly. Today Father […]
Most people are tired of hearing about covid 19 and I am one of them. But we can’t just bury our heads and ignore it, well, I suppose some do but if you aren’t a part of the solution you are a part of the problem. I had an appointment with my primary doctor, a […]
The most time-consuming issue in the news right now is the Coronavirus. Older people are being advised not to leave home if they don’t have to and young people who are sick should not visit their parents or grandparents.
