The Importance of Prayer (part 2) by Janis Cox Prayer used to be something I said before a meal, at bedtime and when I really needed help.

GOD IS LOVE
God is Love by T. L. Wiens A few days ago, I read a blog that dealt with 1 John 4:8, “He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.” And even though I’m not sure I totally agree with the blog author’s path, our conclusions are the same; the definition of love in… Continue reading GOD IS LOVE
MY SHEPHERD
My Shepherd by Brenda Wood Psalm 23:1-2– The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters (KJV).

PRAISING GOD
Praising God by T. L. Wiens I recently attended my sister in-law’s wedding. During a lull in the activities, everyone made small talk. We were asked repeatedly how long the drive was. That was followed by the comments about how boring it is to drive across Saskatchewan. There’s nothing to see but flat land. For me, it’s… Continue reading PRAISING GOD
