May you abound in faith, never waning. May you live to serve others, living as a worthy vessel of God. As we celebrate the Season, may none of us ever forget that it is not about us or things, it is about our connecting to God through Jesus! Now and forevermore. Amen.


your servant and soldier, united with the One

YOU CAN'T CHANGE ME: Unraveling the Lie Part 4 DETAILS NOTHING COMES FROM NOTHING WHY? My Brothers and Sisters, There comes a time in our lives, when we must face reality. We must look in the mirror and ask ourselves, "Where did I go wrong, or What am I doing wrong? Why is this happening? " We usually put off, or delay asking ourselves the HARD questions, until disaster or conflict is staring us right in the eyes. Mothers and fathers who lose their children to senseless acts of violence often ask themselves, "Was it my fault? What could I have done to prevent this? Could I have taught my child better? Should I have been there for them more and maybe this wouldn't have happened? Yes, my child had some character flaws, but did they deserve to die like this? Should another human being be allowed to decide when and how to end my child's life? Why, Lord, tell me why it had to be MY CHILD? What have I done to deserve such heartach

  AN EXPECTED END THANKSGIVING 2023     WHY CELEBRATE THANKSGIVING?   What are you bringing to Thanksgiving? I’m bringing Peace. Can we bring peace to Thanksgiving? Can we get past the aftermath of continuous injustice in America and the barrage of hatred, finger-pointing , blaming and criticism that continues to divide our country? Is Thanksgiving just a celebration of hypocrisy and a politically manufactured portrait to create an illusion of unity and brotherhood?

PRAYER AND PROCLAMATION

FATHER , We thank you for upholding us, but, moreover for hearing our prayers and confessions. Your love for us is truly amazing.  We pray that You continue to search our hearts. We pray that You continue to turn the hearts of Your people to Your  Will and Your Way. Continue to open the eyes of Your people. The soldiers have heard the horn sound. There is a song rallying the people to bring them together. It is a song of peace and a song of unity. Darkness has been called out and exposed in the LIGHT. The adversary is ignorant of how the hand of God scooped up the earth and breathed life into it to create man; for only God can CREATE. Can the enemy comprehend how and why God, Who is Love made All things and said THIS is GOOD? He is bereft of Light! Who can know the mind of God? Within the core of mankind, You have planted a seed, an innate potential, linked to YOU ALONE! And that is the potential and the aptitude to do GOOD. Good that happens when the soul
