Finding Strength

Indeed... there are a lot of people struggling "out there."  But if they learn the miracle of intimacy with God and prayer, they will experience the power that enables them to overcome every trouble and every care."  Al McGowen.


I have done a whole lot of living. I have seen and experiened some of the most wonderful sights in the world, and I am not exaggerating. Then too... I have seen and experienced things no human being should ever have to see or experience.  Some of these have been, shall we say, challenging:  I have lost my job, thus my identity, my dignity, and I have experienced more pain than I can write about in this frame. Some of this trauma is related to military experiences and have been in the form nightmarish dreams. Some "challenges" have come as the fruit of vicious religious people inflicting pain,  and some of it  has been in the form of debilitating physical shock to my various somatic systems.

Now I don't say this to whine or say "pity me."  I say these things for just the opposite purpose:  I want to give you something to help you be free.  Seek intimacy with God.  Seek HIM in prayer. Make this seeking your habit.  HE knows all about "it" and HE is not going anywhere.  When you make this the pattern of your life.  I know for a fact you can indeed get victory over any struggle or strife.  Once you make this your habit, you can then go on out and...

Be Blessed 2-day ... Especially 2-day

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Looking Back To Have A Future: Overcoming Storms

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
