    Grace is stricter than the law. Since the grace of God is given to us, we in turn should bestow that same means and measure of grace upon others. They do not deserve it, but neither did we.

    The Second Mile and Beyond ----Take Another Lap------- Matthew 5:38-42 38 ¶ Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: 39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40 And if ...read more

    God calls us all. Our problem is not knowing what we are called to do, it is having the courage to do it.

    It Takes Courage to Dance 2 Timothy 1:17 A calling from God comes to us all. It is our vocation, the reason we take up space on this crowded planet. We recognize that our calling may not be our career. Nevertheless we long to be used to make a difference. My experience leads me to believe that the ...read more
