O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; To see thy power and thy glory, so as I have seen thee in the sanctuary. Because thy lovingkindness is better than life, my [...]

Discouraged??? For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish,yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at [...]

I had a rough day on the agenda today. Before I started it, I was reading from my Bible and the Lord gave me Psalm 138:3, “In the day when I cried thou answeredst me, and strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.” I cried and He answered. It was a good day. Thank you, [...]

I never want this blog to become political. It is intended to be about my life in Japan and sometimes drifts off to what I am thinking. Today I read this headline: In Some Nations, People Look to Obama as President of the World. If you are a Christian, that has to make you stop [...]

A family that I know and love has had much suffering in their lives. Last week, the unthinkable happened. They lost their 28 year old son in an accident. My first thought was, “How much suffering can one family take?” Then I began to recite the things that I have learned from this family over [...]

By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.By faith the harlot Rahab perished not with them that believed not, when she had received the spies with peace.And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, [...]

The earthquake in Illinois, cyclone in Mayanmar, tornadoes in the midwest, earthquake in China…signs of the times are everywhere… “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the [...]
