The only visible star’s brightness was hard to miss. It peered through the cloudy night, competing with the illumination of the moon, briefly seen behind an overpowering cloud.

He sees what is happeningContinue reading “THROWBACK THURSDAY: Perspective (2016)”

HEAVENLY PEACE
Merry Christmas to my family and friends. May you enjoy the silent and holy night and find that heavenly peace.

We may be persecuted. We will have trials. Jesus was born into persecution. He suffered and lived through trials and temptations.Continue reading “TAKE COMFORT”
