Teach me, Lord, the way of your decrees, that I may follow it to the end

I am sitting here at my laptop trying not to complain out loud.

You may be thinking, What a terrible question to ask. How can anyone make God Sick? Is that even possible? What does that have to do with Fire?

There is so much life here where we live. The Blue Ridge Parkway is just up the street. I don't have to see the seven wonders of the world, not when I have maybe the eighth one right outside my window.

I remember when I was about ten years old I was fascinated with the thought of travel. I wanted to see the world and visit exotic places. Great places, wonderful places. I wanted to be impressed, have those Wow moments,

I have been told by some people I have a remarkable memory. That may be true but I can't remember who told me that. Not really I know who it was.

Just before the end of World War II, in Europe, a very important thing happened. It took place in Holland.

The Bible says, “Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness”

We all have problems, the world sure has problems, but that is really not new news, the world has always been in trouble from one cause or another……

I have to think about the children of Isreal when all two million left Egypt and found themselves on the banks of the Red Sea. They had water in front of them and the army of the Pharoh behind them.

The news is terrible, cities on fire, chaos is reigning over our whole country, seems no one is in charge or taking control.

I have a question for you. I bet I already know the answer, it is the same for just about all of us.

All of life is peaks and valleys. Don't let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low.

John Wooden

There was a blood-red sky in China yesterday that has been in the news today. There is a blood-red moon eclipse coming to the Americas this weekend. These red phenomenons are provoking chatter about the “Last Days”.

Life can be depressing. The news adds to that depression when we watch it or read it of course. Much of it is not true, but it still makes us anxious.

This line comes from the movie Shawshank Redemption. It is not a direct quote from the Bible,

We look at the world around us, sometimes through social media glasses, and we see the wicked prospering. Many of the wicked folk, and as much as I hate to point this out, are in politics.

Ever had one of those days when everything seems to be against you?

The English language can be a confusing thing sometimes. The same word can have multiple meanings. Take the word "Fear"
