How amazing is this dog! He follows his master’s instructions well.

[Clarification: Our daughter is safe and well. My post reflects on the contrast between her recent baptism and the current flooding. Not a personal loss, but a reflection on grief, faith, and hope in the midst of tragedy.]

A few weeks ago, I stood in the river holding my daughter close.

I had planned to be calm, composed, and maybe even a little stoic. But the second I opened my mouth, I almost lost it. A moment from tears, snot and a full-blown ugly cry. I could barely speak the words.

And somehow, that made it even more holy.

In front of family and friends, I baptized her in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. She came up smiling and soaked in God's grace. That moment will live with me forever.

Today, I stood at the river and nearly broke again.

The water that once cradled my daughter in peace is now ripping through our community flooding homes, uprooting lives, and leaving destruction in its wake. What once brought renewal now brings ruin.

But Scripture reminds us: water has always held a tension.

It was the flood that swept the earth.
And the river where Jesus was baptized.

It buried armies.
And parted for freedom.

It can drown.
And it can deliver.

Same water. Different purpose.
Same river. Different season.
Same God. Still faithful.

So even now, even here, I believe the waters will calm.
And when they do, we’ll show up for one another.
We’ll rebuild. We’ll restore.

Because I’ve seen what this river can do in a single moment of grace.
And I believe I’ve only just begun to see what God can do through it.

"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you...
and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you."
— Isaiah 43:2

Testimony Tuesday

Things aren’t always what they seem. As most of you know Israel and Iran are at war. Indeed they are, but there is another war that has been waged against humanity since the Fall of Man in the Garden of Eden.

God loves the people of Iran and sees the trouble over there. Over the decades I’ve heard many inspiring testimonies from people who come from that part of the world during the worst persecution.

I know it’s hard for us Americans to fully comprehend what life is like living in a country at war. But there is a growing church/revival going on over there, and it is glorious!

Watch this video how this Iranian man shares his transformation after knowing Jesus Christ. You can see the peace and softness of his spirit, the joy in his voice. He possesses the sweetness and the fragrance of the Lord.

Never underestimate the presence of God’s Spirit moving in the most unlikely situations. The spiritual battle is real but God is greater and He is taking down the strongholds the enemy once had in place. Praise God!

Have faith, keep believing God can move the hearts of man in any given situation, and never stop praying.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to destroy strongholds.”
2 Corinthians 10:3-4 ESV

Who knew! God can reach anyone. Never give up on loved ones!

“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” Psalm 34:18

I listened to this song this morning in my war room closet under my stairs. My family needs a lot of prayers, and as I listened to the song and readying the lyrics I turned it into a prayer as I worshipped. The Holy Spirit was joining me in worship. Despite the storms that are violently swirling around I felt His presence, and an overwhelming peace filled the tiny closet. I took it in…I took it all in. Yes, we can trust God even when the storms are menacing. I trust you Lord in the midst of everything! Thank you Lord!

Thank you dear friend @KimFairchild for posting this. I know it was meant for me, and at the perfect time. 🙏🏻🥰

Contentment is a mindset that allows us to stop worrying and start trusting God completely. It’s not that our lives have suddenly become perfect or devoid of suffering but that we know God has a plan for even the hard parts of life. We know that we can trust Him. ⁣

When we are content, we know that God loves us, He has good plans for us, and He will meet our needs.⁣ ☕️

3,000 Year Old "Beka" weight from Temple Mount

This beka weight, which dates back to the days of the First Temple, was found in archaeological soil originating from the foundations of the Western Wall – north of the City of David, at the foot of Robinson’s Arch.

At (~0.20 oz), it corresponds exactly to the half‑shekel temple tax referenced in Exodus 38:26—providing literal physical evidence for these biblical practices . ☕️

Testimony Tuesday

Who doesn’t love testimonies about mysterious strangers who show up in a crisis and later you find out that no such person existed or are no longer to be found?

We’ve all heard these familiar testimonies. I personally never get tired of hearing about them.

Today I’ll share two videos that prove God’s ministering angels are certainly real.

One of the videos is from inspirational Christian author Karen Kingsbury. You may be familiar with some of her books and movies. I believe she has a new book coming out in October and the movie in November; “The Christmas Ring.”

The second video is a testimony from a young mother who is approached by one of those “strangers” at her church who speaks life and prophesies over her unborn child that she was planning to abort.

You just never know!
Have you ever experienced an encounter with one of these “strangers?” Feel free to share if you have.

“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.”
Hebrews 13:2 ESV
