About Me

My photo
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

To the church of God, that is in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord and ours: 1 Cor. 1:2. The word “saints” calls attention (sanctified…called to be saints) to the distinctive status of God’s people. Paul often uses it to identify the Christians to whom he writes. The description “sanctified” underlines this aspect of Christian life. The Corinthians’ were plagued by ethical problems and this letter touches repeatedly on the subject of sanctification. At the very beginning Paul calls special attention to it. Significantly, however, he encourages them in a pastoral way by reminding them that they are sanctified. The goal of holiness is realistic because God has already changed their hearts. The ground that Moses once stood upon was holy. So holy in fact that he was told to remove his sandals. Nothing about the piece reality was any different than the reality five feet in any direction…except that God called it holy. YOU have been sanctified…set apart by God, and called to be saints with all (not just some)!
