    "I am with you and will watch over you wherever  you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will   not leave you until I have done what I have promised you."  When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought,  "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it." Genesis 28:15-16 Jacob found himself in the desert.

    He alone is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress. I will never be shaken. Psalm 62:2 If anyone ever mentions the words “tilt test” to you, RUN!!! The past several months, I’ve walked on a rockin’ and a rollin’ suspension bridge. Not really, but that’s how it felt. I’d be fine one minute and weave the next.

It seems to shine brightly, but that's an illusion. What does the moon really look like? The image through a telescope during a new moon, when the sun's rays are blocked, is not a pretty picture.

    Be still and know that I am God. Psalms 46:10 It’s hot. Thunderstorms pop up in the late-afternoon heat. Summer: lazy days. Water trickles down the outside of an ice tea glass. Humidity clings to my skin like a heavy overcoat. I sit and listen to the rumble of thunder in the distance. I see dark clouds and an occasional flash of lightening. I imagine the rain-cooled breeze tickling my cheek. I sit—no thoughts race… Read More
