If somehow taking a look at the faith offends you, this book is probably not for you although you might find yourself in its pages. People in this…

We've seen lots of rain in western Washington. Hope you like this oldie from the original Creedence Clearwater Revival.    Father, you own the weather, the earth, your creation. Thank you for leaving us with beauty of all kinds in this corrupted, sin-stained earth. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.

  This beautiful theme song from the eclectic film Con Air sung here by Trisha Yearwood. Love this song.    Father, thank you for the beautiful songs and lyrics and musicians. You've made music so powerful. You speak through much of it. Thank you is never enough. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
