Resurrection, the Day After
RESURRECTION, THE DAY AFTER Three days ago ‘twas doom. What happened to my gloom? Like morning’s breath and mist, Disappeared with a kiss. No greater truth than this! And Him I almost missed! No greater One to know. No greater love to show. Seth
A Hymn From My Father
As I come upon my parent’s anniversary, my thoughts sometimes linger back to when I was a child. We would visit grandpa’s farm, in my dad’s old blue pick-up truck, which he named Beulah. In a deep, rich bass, he would sing a hymn that has become a favorite of mine, and it would forever…
LOST, Part 2: The Downward Spiral of Man
We continue to week 2 of our new series: “Lost.” While claiming to being “open-minded” we actually are quite closed-minded, only hearing what we want to hear, only believing what we want to believe.

Will I see flowers When love resumes? A handful of seeds, A watering can, Dry, barren ground, Is where grace began. Flowers in vases, Delightful fragrance.…
Sanctity of Life
Seth did a wonderful job yesterday, explaining how beautiful life is and how precious every person is to our loving father. If you were moved this last weekend by the message and would like to do something to make a significant difference in the lives of women who chose life, you may want to consider…
The Road Leads Home
These lyrics were written by D. B. Townes in 1933. THE ROAD LEADS HOME O pilgrim, as you journey, do you ever gladly say, In spite of heavy weather and the roughness of the way, That it really does not matter, all the strange and bitter stress, Heat and cold, and toil and sorrow will…
New Year’s Resolutions
Much has been said and written about New Year’s Resolutions. Some people laud them and suggest that if you don’t set any goals, you don’t have anything to shoot for in terms of personal growth. Others believe that we all set far too lofty a set of goals, and that we don’t even have a…
