Living in the Present (by Helen Mallicoat)
I was regretting the past And fearing the future. Suddenly my Lord was speaking: “My name is I Am.” He paused. I waited. He continued, When you live in the past With its mistakes and regrets, It is hard. I am not there, My name is not I WAS”. When you live in the future With its problems and fears, It is hard. I am not there. My name is not I WILL BE. When you live in this moment, It is...

hope is a one way street
hope is a one way street and all the people that you meet line the edges of its cobblestone
once you head southbound there’s no hope in hell you’ll turn around this road is not much wider than an alleyway

“Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody’s around - nobody big, I mean - except me. And I’m standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff - I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where...

Joshua 5:13-14
Challenge: next time you’re watching the news or something on a faith-based television network and north americans are characterized as “good” or “christian” and middle easterners are characterized as “evil” or “muslim” remember that,
When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his...
