“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” Remember the Sunday School song, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus?” It is my good fortune to have a friend of many years.

“In the beginning God created heaven and earth.” In the beginning – not after something else, not when something else had happened but in the beginning.

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” As most collectors, I gather what would be considered unflawed, near perfect. However, as I combed a beach in Florida, I discovered the beauty of broken shells. They had […]
