Reflections Based on Scripture
Collierville Christmas Angel
I had the privilege of staying at the Hampton Inn in Collierville, TN in December of 2009. The hotel was clean and had a comfortable bed. Nothing special but no complaints.

the hand of my Father

“And your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, ‘This is the way, walk in it’”. Lord, please help me to hear. Kim
Life is a Mist
Life is a Mist Our lives are busy. Our lives are uncertain. Our lives are brief. Our lives should, therefore be humbly submissive. James 4:13-17 No matter how advanced the world seems to become, our lives truly are not in our control but in the hands of a MIGHTY & LIVING GOD. Watch yourself, not […]
