"who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began," ~II Timothy 1:9 NKJV

A Wonderful Read!

Every Thursday I participate in "Thankful Thursday" over at my Refining Life blog. It is such an inspiration to make the rounds of the participating blogs and have my heart filled by what is shared on them!

This morning, one of the bloggers, Jeanne at "Backyard Neighbor", shared a story that is just too good not to share. Give yourself a blessing today! Go read: God Lives Under the Bed.

You did good Jeanne, really good!

Have a Christ-filled day! Chris

Just For Fun!

I'm thinking it is time for some fun!

My cousin Terri keeps my email "inbox" full of all kinds of interesting & sometimes silly things! This morning, she sent me these Church Signs. They made me smile. I hope they do the same for you!



























Blessings! Chris

Take Comfort!

No, I am not happy at all with the outcome of the election! I believe our country has elected the wrong candidate, and is headed for more difficulties than we have had in the last 8 years!

That being said, I was so comforted by Beth Moore's LPM (Living Proof Ministries) blog, that I have to share it with you! This post certainly puts the events of yesterday into the proper perspective!

Click HERE to Read and Rejoice!


Heavenly Father, we praise you as the King of the universe, far above our earthly leaders! We know that all power is yours and that your hand is upon our country and our lives. We pray that you will give our country's leaders the wisdom and courage to stand for what is right. Help your redeemed ones to "walk in the light" in all circumstances, remembering that you will never forsake us! In Jesus' precious name we pray. Amen.

Thankfully, Chris

A Call to Prayer and Fasting!


Dear Sisters in Christ,

Tomorrow, the direction that our beloved country will take for the next 4 years, will be decided. We must all get to the polls and vote. Me must vote "with prayers attached"!

But more than that, we must FAST and PRAY! Each of us individually, and as groups of believers, must confess and ask God to forgive the sins of our nation. Pray that our land be healed. Pray for revival in our pulpits and churches.

Make time to call upon the Lord for our nation's salvation. Ask God to do a mighty work, to show the world that we are STILL a country founded on God's principles. Gather in groups and together lift our nation in prayer for it's leadership.

Fast one meal, or two. Fast until the polls have closed.

We must reclaim our country for God! We must honor the forefathers who secured liberty for us! We must leave a Christian legacy for our children and grandchildren! We must continue to be the "light" in this old world!

Pray Dear Ones! Pray as you have never prayed before!

Dear Father, we are in such a mess! Our nation is in jeopardy of turning away from you. We have often neglected to hold fast to your Word for guidance. We have become lazy and ineffectual in leading our country down the true path of righteousness. Lord, please forgive our sins and heal our land! As each and every Christian walks into the polling booth tomorrow, I pray that you would touch their heart and lead them to vote for the government & leaders that will uphold life & liberty, marriage & family, and most of all, honor Almighty God! I ask in Jesus name. Amen

Prayerfully, Chris
