Welcome!

I was a moderator for a very popular web site devoted to our craft. The owner and administrator of that web site are good people. As an invited moderator I was under their authority when I post on that web site. I am truly blessed to have a small part in providing Biblical guidance and emotional comfort to those who request such via that web site.

God burdened my heart to go even further in offering some respite from the harshness of this life; therefore, I started this blog with the Lord's help. It is because of Him that this site exists.

The Bible says, Him that is weak in the faith receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations. For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs. Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. Romans 14:1-5

The key sentence in the passage is: Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. I am persuaded that there are Christians who want to share the burdens of this earthly existence and encourage one another in the faith without having to be exposed to the filth and vulgarity that is so commonplace on web forums.

Here is a resting place for those who want to be a part of something good, and clean, and pure. The Bible says, Let all things be done decently and in order. 1 Corinthians 14:40 That is how this forum will be conducted.

There is one simple rule. The Bible says, Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil. 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22

I encourage everyone to post. Post that which is good. Abstain from posting anything that has even the appearance of evil.

You Just Never Know When

Revelation 21:2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Sometimes you just never know when a blessing is coming your way.

Today, I find myself sitting at a truck stop adjacent to I-85 in South Carolina.

The climate appeals to me. It is summer heat with a slight breeze.

While sitting on the rear bumper of God’s truck, I view the surrounding landscape.

The grandeur of His handy work moves my soul.

My senses treated to the lush vegetation, the colorful flowering plants and the wonderful smell of sweet nectar drifting through the evening air.

In my thoughts, I can hear the refrain, “It is well with my soul.”

It is a favorite hymn, and this day, more than ever, it strikes a resounding chord that draws me even closer to my God. My God, who created this earth.

“Lord haste the day…” Oh my, I can hardly conceive of heaven, but I have a promise. 1Thessalonians 4:17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

What seems so beautiful today, will not even measure when we stand in our new Jerusalem.
