These poems deal with how God, with tender love, powerful wisdom
and patient invitation, intersects the lives of people, and how we
may, if we wish, respond to such intervention. They touch on a
variety of circumstances and influences that are the common
experience of all, whether Christian or non-Christian: confusion,
decision-making, defeat, disappointment, entanglement, forgiveness,
marriage, national life, personal private devotion, prayer,
resentment, success. It is hoped that the index of scriptural
references will encourage the reader to build worthwhile bridges
between scriptural truths and daily living; that the built-in
metrical arrangements in the poems will encourage the singing of
some of the poems as hymns, and that the content, convictions and
connections expressed in each poem will, after the final poem is
read, enable the reader to respond positively and sincerely to this
powerful invitation from the triune God: I kept the cruse of oil
from running dry; The loaves and fishes I did multiply; I rescued
Daniel from the lion's den; I even gave my life for you. But then
Your doubts still hold you in captivity. I'm in control, my child
Just trust in Me
HAVE YOU EVER WANTED TO REALLY UNDERSTAND BIBLICAL PROPHECY? NOW
YOU CAN. There is an absolute Truth that everyone should know: The
world as we know it will come to an end, and it will be in the near
future. There is going to be a day of reckoning for our world. God
Almighty is going to judge the Earth and the entire universe and it
will all be destroyed in an instant. This is an absolute fact,
whether you choose to believe it or not. Within the pages of The
Ultimate End, you will find a clear and concise explanation of the
very synopsis of the end times written by the Apostle John in the
Book of Revelation. Here you can discover that The Revelation is
not a book of vague mystery, but rather a writing of true
revelation, which is intended to be understood by anyone who will
trust and believe God's Word.
In today's chaotic and challenging world, we all need
encouragement. For the past fifteen years, my wife and I have
utilized various daily devotionals for that helpful dose of
inspiration to start our day. This book is written from the
perspective of a not-so-perfect Christian in a manner that will
speak to men and women of all ages and faiths, and provide them a
simple encouraging, uplifting bit of insight for each day of the
year. I believe this book will allow those who read it to gain a
fresh understanding of God, His love for them, and His plan for
their life. And as they begin to understand God's love, they will
experience the joy and peace He offers to those who love and trust
Him. The first 105 devotionals deal with Bible verses from Genesis
to Revelations that speak about not being afraid. The second phase
deals with verses from Matthew through Revelations that speak of
God's love. And the remaining days of the year are writings on
verses from Matthew through Revelations relating to joy and peace.
The writing of these encouragements has blessed me beyond measure
and brought me closer to the Lord than I ever thought I could be. I
pray they do the same for you.
Storm Clouds Gathering ...
In contrast to these busy first few weeks of establishing
back-to-school routines, as well as the uncertainty of medical
tests for Kjrsten, I reflected back on the quiet respite we'd had
over the past summer.
One of our favorite summer activities was to sit on the long,
covered front porch of our home and watch the storms as they rolled
in from the west across Clear Creek. We'd listen for the thunder
and see the lightning striking at the bottom of the hill as the
storm climbed upward and through the cornfield to the edge of our
yard. We were relieved as it rumbled noisily over the top of our
house without leaving any damage as it continued its steady march
to the east.
Little did we know what kind of storm was brewing for our
perfect little family.
A passionate woman, Annabelle who always wanted to be on top and
will do everything without hesitations to make life to the fullest,
had lived in a challenging life and ends up with an empty heart.
She searched and worked so hard to find the truth. Regina, an
ambitious strong woman who later well loved but life became
miserable. She struggled and had crossed many roads to get away
from agony. Fulfilling her dreams in the ocean of obstacles did not
prevent her from doing the hard way. Women of substance that lived
in different world, searching for happiness, love and devotion but
heartaches were always a part of it. Together with their old
fashioned father that died in pain and a supportive gentle mother,
who became a victim of a troubled love characterized by family
disunity.
An inspiring and enlightening story of family values, the hard
times and the good times, interesting facts about heritage, and
social status. Seeking happiness on simple and adventurous lives
were among other interesting things. It is a story of romance,
humorous memories and great drama.
"Mind Bungee Jumping went through several titles before I settled
on this one. The title seems to fit what I was trying to accomplish
by writing this book. I am told that when you are bungee jumping
you are filled with anxiety, exhilaration, you get a rush and your
adrenalin starts pumping. It feels as if you are jumping into the
unknown, yet you are attached to reality. The rope or material that
keeps you from falling, also springs you back to reality and
ensures that your feet will eventually touch the ground. However,
the feeling of weightlessness, flying though the air, having no
worries and seeing the world from high above are the same feelings
I get from writing. Material included in this book sends the
message that your imagination is the one thing of beauty that you
can make individually yours and you can touch the rainbow.
