The Wrath-Sufferer

Jesus suffered the wrath of men, because of their sin.  He suffered the wrath of God, for mine - what a Savior!

The Definition of Eternal Life

"And this is eternal life, that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent."  John 17:3

I love pondering on this verse...

There are 100 billion galaxies.  Why so much space for so few earth dwellers?  The heavens are telling the glory of God, not man.

Garden Project Update

Thought it would be fun to put up a couple more pictures for you of our garden project.  We are starting to build our raised beds.  There will be seven all together.  We have the first three nearly done.  It was very cool this morning - 35 when I got up.  I needed to put something warm on...  

This post dedicated to, The Orange Mailman...

Did you know...

...that John the Baptist mentioned the rapture?  Check out Matthew 3:12...pretty cool...

Be Anxious For Nothing

A few days ago I snapped this picture of Charlie in his mama's arms.  He had been laying like this for quite some time.  Look in his eyes.  What do you see?  Worry, or contentment - and peace?

 Fret and worry is an indication that we have stopped trusting in God's wisdom, sovereignty, and power.  We have forgotten that behind the scenes the Lord still has His arms around us.  Difficulties are within God's plan, but we are to never stop trusting.  Delighting in the Lord with thanksgiving is the antidote for anxiety.  We need to drench our minds and hearts with the truths of God's Word.  We need to replace the anxious thoughts with true thoughts.  Fretting is filling our minds with what could happen or should happen.  Getting rid of anxiety can be a real battle sometimes.  Don't give up.  Obedience to God's Word always brings blessing.  Keep drenching your heart and mind in the Word.  When we do, the peace comes...

John 13:1

"Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He should depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end."  

It is a precious thing to have your name written in the book of life and belong to Jesus...
