As I look out on to the ocean My heart basks in your devotion Your love and blessings are vast as the sea Dear Lord you do hear the plea Of the sorrowful, and the down trodden A repenting heart’s sins are long forgotten The raging sea can not sink the ship That’s held in your grip You are my anchor that holds As the bad times unfold My fountain of joy and peace Where life’s storms will cease. You walk on water, calm the sea with your hand Guide me as I go through this land.

The drab building stands in stark contrast against the amber sun, as it slips silently into twilight. The homeless...

God gives us joy for our sadness and wisdom to direct our way. He sends healing for our sicknesses and His grace keeps us every day. God gives sweet rest from our labor and His mercy eases our sorrows. He meets us when we are in the valley...
On her 50th wedding anniversary, a woman revealed the secret of her long and happy marriage. She said, “On my wedding day, I decided to make a list of ten of my husband’s faults which, for the sake of the marriage, I would overlook.” One of her guests asked her what some of the faults she chose to overlook were. “To tell you the truth,” she replied, “I never did get around to making that list.
