He Makes Me Lie Down…
In the 23rd Psalm, we read that the Good Shepherd makes us lie down in green pastures. Sheep will only lie down if they are not fearful, have no strife in the flock, are not bothered by pests, and are not hungry. The reality is that in order for this to happen the Shepherd must be in their midst, providing what is needed. As with sheep, so it is with us. If we are distracted, discontent, disturbed, and starving we need…
I Shall Not Want
Scripture reminds us in the “Shepherd Psalm” that the LORD, or Yahweh, is our caretaker. And because of that truth, we want for nothing. Yet it may go deeper than that.

Peace in the Storm: Who’s in your Boat?
As one journeys in life, the blessings of God fill us with joy! Yet Satan loves to steal our joy and our peace. Satan throws storms at us and sometimes it feels like all “Hell” is breaking loose. Question? Who do you turn too? Do we focus on the Storm or do we focus on Jesus the “Prince of Peace?” Join us as we look at a story from Scripture that gives us hope during those times when Satan tries…
Keep Looking at your Friend
Is the world around you confusing, frustrating and hopeless? Look to Jesus! Has the stress of a world out of control clouded your mind? Look to Jesus! Jesus said, “Look to me.
