the story

> "Don't let the storm be the story.." (Bishop Lawson Bryant) The story is Jesus saves us in the midst of the storm, as he did the disciples on the stormy Sea of Galilee. The sins of life are not the story. The forgiveness of God is the story. The story of the Prodigal Son told by Jesus is not the story. The story is the forgiveness and open arms of the the father as he received the repentant son home again and celebrated his life and his return….keep on adding to this as you realize that the story is not your getting off course but the ways God has gotten you back on course………

Inauguration Day Message

A sacred trust. The inauguration of a new President transcends politics, personalities, conflicts. In the United States of America we are participants in a sacred moment when national leadership passes from one person to another peacefully and respectfully. No matter what it is our duty under God to pray for our soon to be new President and our nation that God's will be done. All this happens in a state of imperfection and Grace.

Blessings and love

a new heart

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a new and right spirit within me." (Psalms 51:10)
I recommend this prayer. I speak it or think it frequently. My mind and attitude easily get infected by the intangible environmental values pollution in which we live. The enormous love of Christ hears our prayer and makes a new start in our minds and hearts.
