WANTING TO BE WHERE THE MASTER IS
The most appealing part of heaven is not what isn’t there or what is there, but rather who is there. And I am referring to Jesus, our Savior. We want to be where our Savior is.
Don had 3 German Shepherds—Ranger, Gunner, and Josie. He loved those dogs. And

A confusing directive was recently issued by a British Admiral. It read: “It is necessary for technical reasons, that these warheads be stored bottom-side-up, that is, with the top at the bottom and the bottom at the top. That there be no doubt which is the bottom, and which is the top, each

Heaven Bound
Walking through the storms of life
Facing all the strife
I realize that I am all alone
Facing the lighting and the crash of thunder
Oh How I wonder
Is there no hope of me ever going home
I was walking through the storm all alone.
Fear and despair all around
No hope could be

The other day I met a man with INOPERABLE BRAIN TUMORS. John (not his real name) made a commitment to Christ many years ago and has an ASSURANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE. We had a great conversation together. He is an amazing person. And I prayed for him.

THE GATES WILL NOT PREVAIL
Jesus said: "Upon this rock (of Peter's testimony that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the Living God) I will build my church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it" Matthew 16:18

MY GOD, MY GOD
Jesus' lonely cry of, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me!" is a desperate cry of loneliness. I believe this was the worst and the most horrible part of the crucifixion for Jesus. I believe it was worst than the beatings, the betrayal of Judas, the desertion of the disciples,
