Welcome to Finding Courage, Hope, and Faith in Changing Times

June 25, 2018

Whether you are a believer or an agnostic, I want you to know that it is not Jesus that has turned HIS back on you, it’s the churches that have always held to their racism, sexism, white supremacy, misogyny beliefs in the shadows. Trump has given them the support and encouragement to come out of the shadows with their beliefs that are not the beliefs of Jesus. They are using their power as demigods to divide the church that Jesus intended the Church to be.

Do not lose heart. One of the loudest voices is John Pavlovitz. If you need to hear the truth about the love of God, follow John’s blog. And hang on to your faith; Jesus has not forsaken you. … More Welcome to Finding Courage, Hope, and Faith in Changing Times

She Kept Her Faith

August 20, 2018

“Love is but a song we sing
Fear’s the way we die

Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now”
Get Together Lyrics by The Youngbloods … More She Kept Her Faith
