God Hates Cancer
It’s as though a light suddenly turned on inside my spirit, illuminating my understanding and igniting my faith. As I said a silent prayer for someone we know who just recently was diagnosed with cancer (for the second time), deep in my heart I heard the Spirit of God say, “God hates cancer!” I have…

My Dream
The other night I dreamt I was part of an Easter play, and I was the Christ. I was excited about playing Jesus because, after all, that is definitely a leading role. I figured all I needed to do was walk around in a robe, wear a holy look on my face, glance up towards…

Why would a 26 year old young man want to kill ANY human being, let alone ten? What went through the mind of the gunman as he armed himself and pointed his weapon at that first victim? What possessed him to act in such a terrifying manner? Such heartbreaking news. I am saddened for the…

Puppets and People
Have you ever watched a puppet show? The shows where the puppets are worked by strings? Marionettes, I believe they’re called. Marionettes are quite fascinating to watch. Especially when you’re far enough away that you can’t see the strings. It appears the puppets are acting on their own; dancing, twirling, bowing, and skipping. I see…

Moms are Special
Today is Mother’s Day. I must tell you up front that I’ve never known a perfect mom. No, I’m not knocking anyone’s mother; yours, mine, or ours. Eve, mankind’s first mom, wasn’t perfect. But she was special. Mary, the woman who carried the Son of God in her womb, and along with her husband Joseph…
