Into Thy Hands

5/31/2013

 
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
and do not rely on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
and He shall direct your path. 
Proverbs 3:5-6


As the Scripture states in the book of Proverbs, I am to trust in the Lord with all my heart, no matter how difficult situations and circumstances may appear. This is a challenge, of course, as it is never easy for the flesh to relinquish its control...

Ouchita River

5/21/2013

A Busy Day

God's Blessings

5/4/2013

 
It is a pleasant Saturday evening and I am sitting in my prison cell quietly recounting many of the benefits and blessings the Lord has graciously bestowed upon me. Not because of anything good that I've done, but for His mercies sake...

Trying to Dodge Jesus

5/2/2013

 
As far as I know, no one in my family has ever accepted Jesus (Yeshua) as his or her Savior and Messiah. My family's Jewish. My Dad, who lived to be 101, died last year...

Gorgeous!

5/1/2013

 
This is the day which the Lord has made;
we will rejoice and be glad in it. 
Psalm 118:24
