Being a Witness for God

Have you ever watched political debates?  Debates take place in the Presidential primary races, the United States Senate and House of Representatives.  Did you ever watch these debates on TV?   These debates can be very amusing and, if I watch long enough, infuriating.   It amazes me to hear how they stand and argue their point of view about any given issue.  In many cases, it is as if they like to hear themselves talk.  They repeat themselves, contradict themselves, make statements they...Read Full Story

I stepped out on my deck to enjoy the gorgeous morning God laid out before us. My quiet serenity was interrupted by a noisy "whoosh." I looked up, and this was over my house: "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

I have a confession. I used to have doubts about God's existence. I would pray and I wouldn't always get an answer, so it felt like a one-sided conversation. Then one day when I was very, very sick and out of options, I surrendered my life to God. I didn't know what else to do. Guess what? HE heard me.
