Posted on December 5, 2011 by Pete

Be Glorified In Me!

Posted on December 2, 2011 by Pete

He spoke it as though it were a done deal. Not if . . . not maybe . . . not I hope so . . . but I am. And it’s not like He didn’t know them . . … Continue reading →

Not Home Alone

Posted on November 23, 2011 by Pete

So, on that day, did the old man recall what he had written years before? Did he connect the dots between that day’s reality and the promise he had recorded before he was cast into exile? As he worshiped that … Continue reading →

Jesus Is LORD!

Posted on November 18, 2011 by Pete
