Easter is quickly coming upon us. You know ’cause the candy has been in the stores for a while now. It has been a long time since I got into Easter candy. One year I gave up all sugar for Lent. No candy that year. I am thinking about doing something radical this year after Easter. Lots of folks do… Read more →
Francis Chan gives a heart felt plea for us to answer the request of the persecuted Christians in India: ‘Remember us, pray for us’ My heart was deeply touched by this video. Believers in Jesus are in great danger in many countries of the world. I have heard that there are even orphanages for the children of martyrs. If you… Read more →

You’ve probably asked God for clear direction maybe 1,000 times. I just finished an intense time of prayer over a week or so asking God where He would like me to go.

Sounds like a bad dream… Read more →
