Life is seldom a straight path to our desired destination. More than likely we find it an unpredictable winding path. We may question how the road leads home but we should never doubt the navigator of our souls. He will be a sure guide if we believe.

Wherever you Go
We can't escape ourselves. Wherever we go, we take ourselves along. The Lord changing the heart and who we are is always better than simply a change of where we are.

More or Less, Blessed
Godliness with contentment is great gain. In counting blessings we soon discover that even in seasons of less we have all we need supplied.

The Place of Prayer
Matthew 6:6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
