I had a thought the other day about how faith is the say-so of righteousness/success and how doubt is the say-so of sin/failure. Proclaiming the promises heartily is setting course for positive, meaningful action--serving God's great purposes on the planet. On the other hand, when we begin to doubt our core beliefs, our moral stand and …
"I saw Satan fall like lightening from heaven." -Jesus, (Luke 10:18) The simple choice, motivated by love, to allow other wills to exist, has lead to some disastrous consequences within God's creation. I trust the intelligence of Architect of the universe, Who designed all the laws of nature to work in perfect …
"The mother of all living..." Genesis 3:20 This is a chapter I can't provide a photo for. Eve, beautiful Eve-the most beautiful thing in the world. In all her radiance, all her carefree joy of existence. It was as if a river of love and of peaceful, satisfying, emotion flowed from her wherever she walked. …
Adam wakes up to life. We could call him Clay, or the Man of Dust, but all he knows is that he is very alive, and looking into the eyes of Love itself. "Adam, I AM your Creator." Adam grins, then smiles, then breaks out laughing at the joy of existence. "I AM... I am …

"In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, …
"...In love He predestined us...." Ephesians 1:4c-5a, ESV "In bringing many sons and daughters to glory..." Hebrews 2:10 NIV I so want to rush a head and write a lot of things, but I feel the need to linger in eternity past for at least this chapter. It's …
Saturday was such a nice day. We had great weather-sunny but not too hot. My race went really well. This is the St Clair Vineyard Half Marathon held in Blenheim, New Zealand. The course is almost entirely run on grass, as it winds through several vineyards, which all look beautiful in their early autumn hues. …
I wanted to be writing my next 'big picture' chapter, but tonight was a very productive meeting with some fellow believers. It is amazing to see how the truth sets us free. I hope to post sometime during the weekend, but I'm running a half marathon on Saturday (New Zealand time, of course), and Friday …
