  • My Savior’s Cross

    The cross is as an emblem of a love beyond compare. A reminder of Golgotha and my Savior, who died there.   Because of His great love for me He suffered, bled and died.

  • Heaven’s Violin

  • G.P.S.

    Life is as a highway and we are as a car. Our journey may be short, or one that’s long and far.   There are many different roads which take us here or there. Some are very dangerous. Let us choose each one with care.   Watch for every “Warning” sign you see along the…

  • Gods Arrows

  • Thirty Pieces Of Silver

      Store up treasures in Heaven while here on earth below. For wherein lies our treasure, there is our heart also.   Let us not be blinded by the world, and led astray like Judas, the disciple, who for silver did betray.                                               By choosing silver over Christ, poor Judas, foolishly, betrayed his Lord, with…

  • Walk The Walk

      We can go to church on Sunday. Pray morning, noon, and night, but it’s not worth a sack of beans If we’re not living right.   Heavenly Father is not fooled by those who talk the talk, but live their lives unwilling to really walk the walk.   The “walk” is showing kindness and…

  • Counting Blessings

        How I longed for sleep as I lie there in my bed, but the weight of all my worries kept me wide awake instead.   I tossed and then I turned, but sleep was not to be, and when I tried counting sheep they ran away from me.   But then a sudden…

  • Counting Sheep

        I quickly slipped into my bed 
and didn’t say my prayers.
 It was so warm and cozy,
 I thought, “No one really cares.”   
I tossed and turned, and really tried
 but sleep was not to be. 
I kept thinking of the blessings
 Heavenly Father gives to me.   
Food to eat, clothes…

  • True Treasure

    Of all our earthly treasures, be they big, or be they small, remember it was God who gave the greatest of them of all. It’s not the house we live in, or precious fine jewelry. It’s not our job, or bank account, or new big screen TV. It isn’t fancy, costly clothes to wear upon…

  • The Departed Ship

        It sailed into the sunset on a glass-like sea of blue. The distance growing further ‘till it disappeared from view.   Another watching near me softly whispered, “She is gone”. But in our hearts, though unseen, we knew the ship sailed on.   For a ship on the horizon disappearing in the night,…

  • How Are You?

    When somebody greets you with a friendly, “How are you”? Think about that question from another point of view. How are you spending time God gives you every day?

  • The Dash Between

      Every man is my brother, be he black or white or yellow. And to me it doesn’t matter the religion of the fellow.   We all live here together upon this place called Earth, and had no say in any way in the origin of our birth.   Sometimes life is difficult. For some…

  • God’s Colors

      Earth wouldn’t be as beautiful if all God’s flowers were blue. If rainbows were only yellow that would be a sad thing too.   Suppose the ocean and the sky were both the color white. And everyone on Earth wore black. Wouldn’t that be a sight?   God made the beautiful flowers many colors,…
