Ahhh! There were spiritual lessons to be learned before, during and after the visit of Hurricane Irma. We were left for days without electricity in south Florida’s sweltering 90+ degree temperatures and, alas, no moonlit nights. Not one Power Bank or Generator could be found anywhere in the city!

I must share with you the great surprise I had three weeks ago when I opened my email one morning. But, let me tell you the back story first... Our Brother, John Ssentamu, Head Teacher at Good Shepherd Primary School in Uganda, has a lovely wife and three children. The eldest, Miss Vicky Edith, loves [...]
“Lord, through all the generations you have been our home.” Psa. 90:1 To be honest with you, I’ve struggled with what I’m to write to you about this month. Why? Because its content convicts me. Just thought you should know. Our hearts are continually wrenched over the chaos that swirls around innocent people who are [...]
"Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall." (Prov. 16:18 KJV) Most of us would probably not respond quickly in the affirmative if we were asked if we had an issue/problem with pride.
