Help Eliminate Poverty

Hope Does Not Automatically Come to All.

We as God's people must ask ourselves: Are we sharing the Good News? Are we delivering the message of hope to others? True the world will always have physical poverty but we can help to eliminate spiritual poverty. Our hearts need to burn with the desire to do so. If not, God help us!

Melody Making

Eph 5.19 “…singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.”

Beautiful music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations of the soul; it is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.

Think Kindness

A kind word never broke anyone’s mouth.

Cultivating Our World

You may only be someone in the world,

but to someone else, you may be their world.

My Wish to You & Yours

Happy Chocolate Bunny Ears

Everyone needs some"bunny" to love!

Of Note: Bunny in racer is available at a cost of approx. $58. Bunny No. 2 costs $65. Bunnies No. 3 are around $28 each. There was a bunny costing $165 whose picture was unavailable as it had already sold out (would have loved to have seen a picture of that one).

Lord, Is It I?

Judas Iscariot, 1891 German painting

With this Easter season upon us what better time to reflect on our walk with the Lord. Are we true disciples in the purest sense, or are we as Judas, a face with an impure heart? I pray my poem speaks my heart - because in my living as a "disciple of Christ", I must know more than ever before that I have totally given Him what is most important – MY VERY ALL!!!

Absolutely not!
No, not I,
Never would I the Lord deny!

Definitely a mistake!!
There’s no truth to the claim,
That I would to the Lord bring shame!!

Truly absurd!!!
No, I never could,
Nail the Lord to a gnarled place of wood!!!

Completely false!!?
Why, He’s the center of all my needs,
Even though I don’t answer all His pleads!!?

You don’t make sense!?
You’ve unquestionably lost all reason,
I plan on giving Him my all in proper season!?

No, surely not?
Could I ever deny?
Oh no, dear Lord, truly is it I?

Happy Birthday Pastor

(Couldn't put this post on any sooner as tonight's service was a surprise birthday celebration for our Pastor - and the church wanted him to think we'd forgotten his 62nd birthday). Well, now's the time to give honor to whom honor is due. Sorry no pictures, my camera didn't cooperate.

Happy Birthday, Pastor Rick Keyes. You are truly an extraordinary man of God, and what a privilege to call you Pastor. Thank you for your patience, love and understanding - and for helping guide us diligently into our rightful places in the Lord's ministry. May we always desire to be an extension of your heart and your burden for the work of God.

We saints of Revival Tabernacle are truly blessed!

Beware ID Theft!

My friend Sera just sent me an email alert, and I had to share:
BEWARE OF IDENTITY THEFT THIS EASTER!!!

Thanks Sera, you made my day.

We Live for Tomorrow

Live as though Christ died yesterday,
rose from the grave today,
and is coming back tomorrow.

Apostles of Hope

Tradition has it that white lilies (often called "white-robed apostles of hope) were found growing in the Garden of Gethsemane where drops of Christ's sweat fell to the ground in his final hours of sorrow and deep distress.
Each time we see an Easter Lily, may we think on the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the hope He has given us through life everlasting.

Supreme Reflections

Everywhere I go, everything I do, everything I see today, I want it to remind me of Him and the supreme sacrifice He made for me - and for you.
