![abcdz2000 has added a photo to the pool:"Before the rooster crows today, you will deny three times that you know me" Luke 22:34Jesus told the disciples that one of them would betray him and the calamity awaited the traitor (Luk 22:22). Jesus then told Peter that he would deny that he knew Jesus. Later, however, Peter would repent and receive a commission to feed Jesus' lambs (Joh 21:15). Betraying and denying - one is just about as bad as the other. But Judas and Peter had entirely different fates because one repented.

In “Money” We Trust?
There’s a reason why our currency says “In God We Trust”. Regardless of what the financial experts say, nothing can grow without God’s active involvement. It all belongs to Him anyway and we are mere stewards of what He has graciously given us. Eight years ago I learned that lesson the hard way.
Eight years ago I had hit rock bottom.
Here Comes The Bride
As a single woman quickly approaching 40, it is easy to become dismayed by the gloomy statistics which indicate that marriage over 40 is near impossible. One controversial article in a 1986 issue of Newsweek touted that it was far more probable for a woman over 40 to be killed in a terrorist attack than ever get married (The Early Show, CBS News, May 31, 2006). While some recent statistics now show that the odds have increased to 40% in our favor, there is still a sense of dread that you may fall in the 60% that will be doomed to living a single life…
Cafeteria Christians
Cafeteria Christians – they’re everywhere. We live with them, work with them, worship with them and sadly in some cases, they are our spiritual leaders “chosen” to lead us on the path of righteousness.

I couldn’t get my mind around it; how Jesus could love me so much that He would make such an immense sacrifice on my behalf. I thought of the pain He suffered, all because He wanted to give me the chance to spend a life with Him…
Ode to Love
Love lifts and escalates to fits of laughter

Love liberates and breaks the chains that enslave
Love heals with a boundless grace that saves…
Pregnant at 16
A few years ago my friend Jennifer called me and right away, I could tell in her voice that something was wrong – very wrong. She choked out the words: “Sue is pregnant!” Sue, her 16 year old daughter in her senior year of high school, was pregnant…
Born Again
The scales have fallen from my eyes
The world I see, no more in disguise
The chains that once enslaved are broken
New lips now utter words never spoken…
