    "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."

    And in the morning you will see the glory of the LORD,  because he has heard your grumbling against him. Exodus 16:7 Moses said these words to the Israelites who were grumbling like crazy - again.

I was young, idealistic, and death seemed far away. But God used my time there to teach me some valuable life lessons. I worked with in-patients; most of them at the end of their lives.

    Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith. Hebrews 12:2 (NIV) The King James Version says it this way: Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. Most of us understand that there's no way we can be good enough to earn God's grace and forgiveness.
