He was taken by stealth, the Prince of Peace. He was pierced for our transgressions. He was bruised for our selfish actions and by His stripes we are healed.


I wish to extend my honor and gratitude to those who have chosen to serve and sacrifice also for the sake of protection and peace. Thank You, and God Bless You!

Looking for Love?

Are you still looking for true happiness? What motivates you to get up each day? Have you found in life what you are looking for? Or have you given up the search like so many others who have become content until something upsets their mundane lives. Others often fear something bad could happen at any moment like a tornado or loosing their job. What are you looking for?

Older people are just happy to be alive. Some of them live alone or are abandon in rest homes. Others have pets to keep them company. Young people used to have dreams or ambitions, many still do, but that too is changing as some see what appears to be futility ahead. Many are choosing to live for the moment, not caring about the future.

Then there are the children who go hungry and are scared as they see their homes, families and relationships break up. Many have no idea of what true happiness is or a sense of security. While other people will be stuffing their houses, minds and bodies with things they don't really need, and they don't seem to care about the waste or the damage it causes them. At times life just doesn't seem fair, as people struggle to make sense of it all or find some kind of happiness.

Government leaders and officials seem to be at a loss also as they search for answers for how to solve the ever-growing problems and corruption in their countries, or how to correct the hurting lives and wasted resources that they have been entrusted with. Many people have less and less hope or confidants in Government being able to help them or others resolve or deal with the real issues of life. Some are wondering whether there is such a thing as true happiness.

True answers and happiness seems to be an illusion along with most people's dreams. So in the meantime, they try to have a little fun along the way to give their emotions a boost. Whether it is an affair, exploits on the Internet, beer parties or making a little extra money on the slide, people continue to do foolish things in meaningless searches for true happiness.

Religious leaders struggle with the same problems as do many of their members, as they try to encourage one another. Yet, it seems everyone is pretending that everything will be alright. Even though they have seen thousands of unanswered prayers go by the wayside, and don't know or understand why. However, their hope is still in heaven and it seems to be their ultimate goal, eventually.

As King Solomon said, "Vanity, vanity all the ways of man are vanity!" (
Eccles. 1:2)

If we want to see change, restoration, fulfilled promises and dreams for a better and happier future, then the Heavenly Father has and is the answer. He is determined to bring true happiness to this world. He's waiting for us and wants us to
seek him with all our hearts, but most of all he desires a simple and honest relationship with Him. We need to come to realize who he really is, the all loving and powerful Heavenly Father. Then we will see answered prayers and experience true happiness that only the He can give.

There is soon coming a mighty move of God. When you see it, jump in and grab it with both hands, for it will be an experience that can last for eternity. Don't miss it! When all you see are problems or feel life is hopeless, you need to change your focus." Look up, lift up your hands and cry out to God, because your redemption draws near." (Luke 21:28) Why are you still looking and waiting?

Jesus said,
"I have come that you might have life, and that you have it more abundantly." (John 10:10). And God doesn't lie. (Num. 23:19).
