I’ve thought this before but never in these words. The flesh is the grave…we are all dust, clay, made from the earth. And we are all dying, naturally. But today, as I was reading, it hit me that we are in fact dead…the flesh is dead; it is rotten and rotting with every passing moment. … Continue reading Dead in CHRIST

Thoughts on Irony
A coworker of mine recently made a comment about the irony of life…and it made me think of an email I never sent. I had a friend accuse me of having so many contradictions. In the unsent message, I explained how I do not contradict myself though it seems I do. Even as Yoda says … Continue reading Thoughts on Irony
Fires
Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah were tried by fire. Literally. Their faith was put to the test as they were thrown into the furnace for bowing to their GOD. The men who bound them and who threw them into the flames were immediately burned by the roaring fire. Yet these three calmly walked in the midst, … Continue reading Fires
Fear Not
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10 “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the … Continue reading Fear Not
Do we?
I've been reading Jeremiah lately and I'll tell you, I can't help but wonder if it isn't about the current state of the world. You see, I don't believe in time. I don't think it exists. Yes, we have clocks and calendars, but they are means of organization. That's it. Something that people made to … Continue reading Do we?

People who live with emotional pain are or can be depressed or needy, ill or difficult to get along with. People with physical pain can be cranky or irritated. Something that is hard for … Continue reading What Level Are You?
Wanting…
When my oldest child was a baby, the doctor said what goes in will come out…liquid in, liquid out. You know, those words have stuck with me all this time. We are what we consume. Sometimes I go back and read through my posts… and there are things I see that I’ve learned, but never … Continue reading Wanting…
My Eyes…
King & Country has a song "Fix My Eyes"... What is the point of life? You know, we were created by the Father in HIS image. Okay fine. And I know we all want better. We all want more. We all want to advance. We strive and struggle through this life... accumulating everything we possibly … Continue reading My Eyes…
Death and the Grave
HE conquered death and the grave. Death is flesh. Flesh is dead. Flesh is the grave. The grave is a prison...confining the spirit/soul. CHRIST overcame the flesh and shattered the restrictions the flesh puts on the soul. HE broke all the chains of bondage so HIS children are free. When HE rose from the grave, … Continue reading Death and the Grave
Temporary
Life is temporary. We do not have any guarantees or assurances in life. None. The joke is the only sure things are taxes and death. I can promise you that life is full of heartache. It is full of happiness. Life is a blend of all different types of people coming into your presence and … Continue reading Temporary
