  •                   Yesterday I went for my final check-up with my heart surgeon over a year after having my mitral valve repaired. It was all systems go. The Lord has gifted this young man with mad skills, and the Lord enabled those skills to be used in my healing and recovery in a very short time. The Lord answered…

  •                             A lot of shelf items exposed. Many drawers. Like the floor and light from windows. Interesting.   Lord, you make creativity. In all forms. May we always honor your gifts. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

  •      One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, with the people crowding around him and listening to the word of God, he saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked…

  •               Thank you, Lord, for all you make possible. Never enough words to thank or praise you. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.        

  •        The promo for Season 8 of the long-running TV series Magnum P. I. Loved this show. Tom Selleck was fantastic as the iconic former Naval officer turned private investigator and security provider for the lavish Robin's Nest coupled with the rigid and cunning estate manager Higgins (John Hillerman) and his two Dobermans Zeus and Apollo.  …
