Some of the mediations I conduct are for family conflict. It’s amazing the messes people get themselves into. ...read more

    There are times when life drives us to the cave. It is not a matter of if, but when. More important, is the dilema of you getting out of the cave in proper time.

    When one of the Sons of Korah looked at the current horrible disasters, he could not understand why God allowed these things. Like him, we struggle with reconciling God’s character and what God permits, especially when it strikes close to home.

    Is God A Has Been? (Psalm 44) 1. We do not have a lot of information about the Sons of Korah, but we do about their competing group, the Sons of Asaph. 2. According to I Chronicles 25:1-3, "David, together with the commanders of the army, set apart some of the sons of Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun ...read more

    When we feel like giving up, we need to do what Jeremiah did. We need to remember: God loves us, God is faithful to us, and God will save us.

    Lamentations 3:19-26 When All Hope is Lost Life is hard at times. Your spouse is unfaithful. Your health takes a turn for the worst. A friend betrays you.
