I can hear the blue-haired, stuck-in-the-mud, religious legalist buzz killers right now. “WHAAAAATTTT????, you can’t teach about Christmas!!!! It’s not Thanksgiving yet!! You can’t watch Christmas movies, sing carols, or decorate until Thanksgiving, and you must take down your decorations the day after Christmas, and certainly no later than New Year’s Day !!!!!!!!!!!” Avoid them like […]
IS IT JUST ME? Or is everything accelerating? Well, here we are. The fourth of July was yesterday, yet Halloween will be done in three days. Christmas is less than eight weeks away. You folks all know that I am a certified Christmas nut! So, the passing of Halloween is my green flag to start […]

Holy Spirit taught us through our anointed appointed teacher Paul that “God loves and will not do without a prompt to do it cheerful giver whose heart is in his giving.” GOD’S PROMISE TO YOU “Remember […]
“I lift up my eyes to the hills. From Where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Pay attention, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. […]
