I Corinthians 13 If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don’t love, I’m nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate. Chapter 13 of I Corinthians describes a holy love called agape.

Dar Luz–The Light Has Come
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And, God saw that the light was…
Are you an innovator?
I was recently asked to speak to a group of high school students about my desire to pursue my doctorate, and how I persevered. Here is the result of that request and my work utilizing Prezi with a voice recording of the presentation. I think what is hard to capture in a recording is the…

Thank you Teresa for reminding me of God’s Perfect Plan….. God planned the smallest of detail on the day He formed the earth, And, just as carefully, He planned each detail of your birth– He knew the color of your eyes, the texture of your hair, The circumstances of your days, each how and when…

The Pursuit of Less
The pursuit of less. I have typed and retyped this line. I started off listing monumental events and pursuits for the last three years, but, honestly, that annoyed me. I do it. The list of busy. We all do it because somehow hearing it makes us feel justified in our crazy town schedule. Deep inside…
Grace Home Ministries
If you read my previous post, you’ll remember my joy at finding my old Bible–Blueprint for Living. The following paragraph was written at that time by Bill Bright, founder and president of Campus Crusade For Christ International, in the section called, “An Invitation to Abundant Living” Christ engages in the hearts of His people. He revolutionizes…
Rose of Sharon
A blog post from Louise Lloyd, my mother. My mother and father have been living in the “Rose of Sharon” home with us for about nine years. Her Rose of Sharon trees are blooming! Every morning in my quiet time, God has a bouquet of fresh flowers for me to enjoy. This morning God gave me…
