We can all have bad days, hard days, days that could be considered a waste of makeup! Days when we think it's just us against the world. Fortunately for us most of the time that's just a figure of speech! I take heart from Elisha though. Here he was just one man, with a servant surrounded by an… Continue reading Against all odds

In my Father’s House
I sat in an empty church the other day. One that I don't attend, or ever have for that matter. But as it so happened, my Father was taking the services there.

Over the course of our lives most of us would have at some point been let down, hurt or betrayed by a friend. I know I have. Sometimes unintentionally, sometimes intentionally.

Ride on in Majesty – {Lent}
1. Ride on! ride on in majesty! Hark! all the tribes hosanna cry; O Savior meek, pursue Thy road With palms and scatter'd garments strew'd. Chorus: Ride on, ride on in majesty; (Ride on, ride on, ride on, ride on in majesty, in majesty;) In lowly pomp, ride on to die. (In lowly pomp, in… Continue reading Ride on in Majesty – {Lent}
