Do you feel Halloween sneaking up? I do! So, I’ve got a spider web story to share. One morning years ago, as my sons and I we were rushing off into our day, we noticed a HUGE spider web – all perfect and symmetrical – hanging right in front of their bedroom window. I suppose we noticed it because the light had captured the early morning dew glistening off of it. It was amazing! When we returned back home, early in the afternoon, the web was gone! Huh… Well, knowing how flimsy webs are, I thought of half a dozen reasons why the web had vanished. We felt a little sad, because it truly had ... Read the Post

My Emmaus Journey
Let’s face it, we all go on countless journeys and life takes us along many a winding turns and narrow streets. But, how many of us have taken a spiritual trip along the “Road to Emmaus” just like those two disciples did long time ago? I had the opportunity of travelling on mine a few months ago when I embarked on an Evangelisation Course at our church. It all began on a cool Saturday afternoon. However, the setting was nothing like the rocky road that those disciples travelled. Our journey took place on the church grounds. We students were grouped together and each one had to choose a ...

What Will She Choose
Two long weeks had passed since the incident took place that seemed to shake the foundation of her faith. She had replayed it time and again in both her heart and mind. Thoughts of betrayal, fear and doubt had almost become second nature during these two weeks. Had she indeed heard and obeyed what she thought were instructions from the Lord?

She cried out, “Why, Lord, can’t I simply put these thoughts out of my ... Read the Post
No Doubt About It
Back in October of 2009, God began stretching me in a particular area. I felt that He was asking me to take a huge step of faith. There were moments when I found myself doubting I could do what I felt God was leading me to do. I questioned God by asking Him, “I’ve already got so much on my plate. Are You sure about this timing?” I thought, “How in the world could I accomplish what He’s calling me to do?” The answer to that question was simple: I couldn’t; at least not on my own. However, God could accomplish those things through me. I took the step of faith and God was faithful to enable ... Read the Post
Perspective
I am often encouraged by a beautiful sunset. It appears majestic—ribbons of soaring light peering through couplets of clouds draws in my heart. I don't seek God in the sunset, but I search the heavens and thank Him for what He created. I look at sunsets when I feel overwhelmed and need encouragement because of the minute things of life. Sometimes everything feels overwhelming. Reading through Job is a funny way to be encouraged. The daily difficulties of a man being sifted by Satan is not appealing on the surface. But deeper into the thickness of the Bible, I found a gem that puts it all ... Read the Post
