Life this side of heaven provides a head-spinning range of options, and our Creator grants us the freedom to choose. We know right from wrong because God writes His commandments on our hearts. We are free to obey, or not, but once we choose, the consequences are not under our control.We cannot use our human abilities to know God's ways, but the Holy Spirit works faith in our heart to seek God's wisdom and His promise of salvation to us. Our heavenly Father does not abandon us to our damning choices. Rather, He offers the gift of His Word to create faith in our Savior, reveal Himself, and show us how to live. God wants us to choose, out of love for Him, to trust His guidance in His Word and to believe it.Be Thou My Guide encourages us to draw close to the Lord with trusting hearts and minds and not to rely on ourselves or choose the ways of the world. Use this study to be encouraged, to develop diligence to live as a child of God, and to practice intentional Christian living.

In the United States, as diagnoses of dementia rise concurrent to an aging population, increasing healthcare costs and the availability and affordability of long-term care facilities place additional burdens on family members of those who have dementia.

Rev Dr Shannon E Karafanda, a United Methodist Pastor, has carefully curated 40 different #HolyMischief challenges during Lent. Each one connects to scripture and allows you to embody a deeper sense of the Word. Come along on the journey and complete each challenge as we move towards Easter.

Horses Make Me Laugh is a journal that has been lovingly designed to put a big smile or your face and joy in your heart.  I have created this journal because I am a lifelong horse enthusiast and love a good laugh.  For those of you who enjoy reading a good book and writing down your thoughts and plans, this journal is the perfect fit for you.  It is said that laughter is good for the soul, so I encourage you to open up this journal and let the smiles begin.If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know the person, don’t bother analyzing their ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, or seeing how much they are moved by noble ideas; you’ll get better results if you just watch them laugh. If they laugh well, they are good people… All I claim to know is that laughter is the most reliable gauge of human nature. Feodor Dostoyevsky

While this improved third edition is being forward to the press for publication I wish to make the following statement: It has been gratifying to my mine to note the marked reception that has already been accorded by my first and second edition it has found a warm spot in the heart many enthusiastic book-lovers some of who are Ministers, Judges, Lawyers, Medical Doctors, Chaplains, Libra rains of leading colleges and universities, for an instant The Atlantic Christians College, University of North Carolina, Shaw University and also the Historical library of Disciple of Christ, Nashville, Tenn., some have remarked that they hope I would write another a task which unfortunately I feel to say would be well nigh impossible nevertheless I have had vision and energy enough to supplement my first edition with some new Creations, like all creative writing the characters in my stories are fictitious with the exception of the one in which there are two brothers mention of dual names. These are real persons hence their real names, you may note also in one of my stories entitled Two Living Example of Moral Goodness I have Praised Mr. Miles T.

Visible spiritual darkness and for many of us our Paradise will be lost, The world will soon to ruin go the sun forbear to shine but Christ who calls me here below shall be forever mine.
