Welcome

Thanks for stopping by. This journal is meant as a way for me to work out my calling as a Pastor. Things doing always go as we think they will, but as long as we're on the journey with God, we're on the right path.

I'll post personal updates, teachings, thoughts and just what ever strikes my fancy.

Happy Independance Day

Just a quick post to wish everyone a happy and safe Independence Day.

During this time, I ask you to reflect on one thing.


We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that
they are endowed, by their CREATOR, with certain unalienable Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.


This country is founded on the principle that God is the creator, and that He created men to be free. The Continental Congress did not feel they were taking the authority into their own hands, but that the authority to throw off the chains of England came from Almighty God.

I fear we've lost that, anymore. We fail to recognize that it is in God that all authority and government lies. Our hope and our future does not lie with the government, but with God. Many people are so discouraged with the direction our country is going. But the future is not in the hands of the politicians, but in the hands of God.

So on this 4th of July, offer up a prayer for this country. Pray for our leaders, whether you like them or not. Pray that we follow the course God would have for us. That He defends and provides for us. That we would humble ourselves before Him and He would forgive us our sins as a nation and bless us. Give thanks to Him for providing a country of great freedoms and pray that those freedoms not be taken from us.

God bless the USA.
