It is hard for us, who are so blessed, to remember that many children in Haiti and other parts of the world are suffering each day, such as this little girl. There is a Haitian Creole Proverb that says, "The rock in the water does not know the pain of the rock in the sun."...
The Lord taught me a few years ago that the decision we make today will affect our future tomorrow. May God grant us the wisdom we need to work for Him. “For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.” Proverbs 8:11 –...

“The Race is On…” Have you ever watched the Olympics on television, or a high school match of athletic runners? They are all “in the race to win,” and everyone is watching them. These people are athletes and they would never “run” with anything that would slow them down. They also know that “everyone is...
