Song of the Day #5 “I Look Up” by We Are Messengers We all want to feel like we’re on top at some point in our lives, and those around us need to listen and be obedient to us. Whether that is our kids, our employees, our students, etc. This song woke me up playing in my head.

God numbers our days here on earth, but eternity is forever. In Mark 10:29&30 Jesus said, ” Truly I tell you, anyone who leaves, family and friends and work, for My sake and for the gospel’s sake, will receive a 100 times as much now in the present age, along with persecutions, and receive eternal life.” Following Jesus isn’t always an easy life, the persecutions are necessary Read More

Where Did Pinatas Originate Feb 9, 2017 I didn’t know where piñatas came from, now I do. Given the choice, would you rather live like a tree near the river or like shrub? The difference being the amount of life giving water. Jesus is the nourishing river of life. (Photos of Our Daily Bread daily devotional)
