A Daily Prayer

This was written in my daily devotional today. It is something I need to plaster on every mirror, in my car, on the inside of my Bible … any place that I look daily. It is something that I feel that I need to resound in my heart. (From the Universal Prayer attributed to Pop [&hellip

Mouse Blessings?

I live in Army housing. (for those of you who also live in Army housing, I’m sure this paragraph will not surprise you) It’s not glamorous, but it serves it’s purpose. It’s old, but it has ”charm”. With that, you inherit problems that don’t always get fixed. Our house has been known to have problems [&hellip

I’m a blind beggar too

As Jesus was leaving Jericho with his disciples and a sizable crowd, Bartimaeus, a blind man, the son of Timaeus, sat by the roadside begging. On hearing that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, ”Jesus, son of David, have pity on me.” And many rebuked him, telling him to [&hellip
