About Me

I have been married to my wife and hero (Stage 4 Breast Cancer Survivor) Stacy for 23 years. We have raised three awesome son's. Together Stacy and I have learned that true love can ONLY be tested through time. True Love is tested through hardships, boredom, and pain. True love has to whether through life's busyness, while withstanding the pressures of Job, family, and home, middle and old age. You determine whether the LOVE you have is true over time. Respect each other,encourage each other, and serve each other minute by minute, hour by hour...As time alone will tell!

Daily Word

Why, O Lord, do you stand far away? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble? In ignorance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised. Psalm 10:1-2. This psalm has no title, it was likely combined with Ps.9. Taken separately and calling on God the psalm would be an individual lament, bemoaning the wicked who victimize the righteous and calling on God to restore justice. The psalmist is more troubled (Why…do you stand far away) by the apparent absence of God than by his enemies. Today, many continue to cry out…”why, O Lord, do you stand so far away” and “Why do you hide your face in times of trouble?” Yet those very same folks crying out fail to recognize that the only time they are interested in God or His help are during those times of tragedy or trouble, and never once do they accept or recognize their own part in what has caused that distance between themselves and God. Today, will you draw closer to God or push Him farther away?
