When I can’t breathe

When I can’t breathe

In the heart of East Texas where I live, where the pine trees whisper secrets about what could have been and the sun casts a golden hue, I encountered a homeless man whose untold story of loss tugged at my heart. His eyes reflected a deepness of sorrow and loss as he shared with me in a moment of vulnerability, “I can’t breathe today; I stopped living when he died.” 03/13/2024 09:00 AM

Galatians 5:16-17, “As you yield freely and fully to the dynamic life in power of the Holy Spirit, you will abandon the craving of this self-life. For your self-life craves the things that offend the Holy Spirit and hinder him from living freely within you.” (TPT) 03/13/2024 09:00 AM

This is the Great Adventure

This is the Great Adventure

Hello friends! It has been a hot minute! I hope your Christmas and New years were well! Mine were great! Today were talking about BOLDNESS In Christ. We need to be BOLD for Christ in this day and age. Our world needs it. Sooooo many times all of us in the world have been cautious. I do not mean.” I’m not going to touch that because it is sharp cautious”; I mean “Oh I feel GOD is calling me to go on that mission trip but I think I will just stay here, Or GOD is calling me to that job, but I will just stay here where I am because I am secure”. The enemy gets in our heads and tells us we need to stay where we are but that is so NOT TRUE. GOD tells us things and we need to listen. I’m not saying pack up and move to the other side of the world!(unless GOD calls you to do that!!)God might be telling you to talk to someone about Christ or share your faith. Maybe it looks like standing up for what is right even when no one else will, or trying a new sport or activity. We need to stop being scared and say: GOD let’s go! I’m ready! Send me! We need to be COURAGEOUS in CHRIST! 01/10/2024 10:00 AM

Ride the motorcycle of life

Ride the motorcycle of life

I stood on the corner with a bearded man, his face worn, but he was smiling. He has experienced many stages in his life, from the known to the unknown, and now lives on the street. But his joy at receiving a few hand warmers and a fresh blanket was apparent. I discovered he and I lived i n California simultaneously many years ago. And we’re the same age. 01/10/2024 10:00 AM

What Christmas means to me

What Christmas means to me

Hi Everyone! Merry CHRISTMAS! I hope you’re well! My week has been GREAT. I hope the same for you! Today I would like to talk about what Christmas means to me. Christmas means a whole lot of things for all sorts of people. Christmas means spending time with family and friends, pursuing joy and peace. Some people might have a grand party. Others bake all sorts of goodies. Some it might mean decorating and hanging lights. These are all great things and there’s nothing wrong with them, but what Christmas truly means is the birth of JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD! Christmas is all about celebrating and commemorating the birth of JESUS! GOD sent JESUS that HOLY day to save us from death itself! Remember that this Christmas season! I also would like to say The First Baptist Church of DeKalb is having a candlelight Christmas Eve service and I would love to see you there check the church Facebook page for extra information! My mom’s favorite Christmas song is “Oh Holy Night” but it has to be Nat King Cole’s version. In that song it says, “Long lay the world in sin and error pining Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn” I have been saved so Christmas means so much to me. Because of Jesus my soul does feel its worth and I do rejoice on what God did for me. 12/20/2023 10:00 AM
