eat what I give you
“But you, son of man, hear what I say to you.

Cry Out
O Lord, God of my salvation; I cry out day and night before you. Let my prayer come before you; incline your ear to my cry! For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. I am counted among those who go down to the pit; I am a manContinue reading “Cry Out”

Terror – Honor – Prosperity
We all work hard to make something out of ourselves. Some of us have to work harder than others, maybe because of the side of the tracks we come from, maybe because of how many resources are availed to us from mommy and daddy. Maybe because of the country we are born in. In the USA we talkContinue reading “Terror – Honor – Prosperity”
O give thanks…
I really don’t feel like giving thanks. I have been without a call for over 4 months (that’s 120+ days). Now my wife is working and coming home bone tired, not that the work she did before did not wear her out, but it was here and we could help (and every now and thenContinue reading “O give thanks…”
