Celebrating the Orange Twelfth of July in the Braveheart Highland Pub in Hellertown Pa.

Remembering the great victory of Protestant Prince William of Orange over Catholic King James in 1690 at the Boyne.

Happy Twelfth of July to all my exile fellow Ulster Scots throughout the world and my family in Belfast.

Miss being with you all and the sounds of the Flute and Pipe Bands parading up Royal Avenue participating in one of the largest parades in the world.

Never take for granted the freedom of your faith. It is part of your heritage but was handed down to you at great price! No surrender!

Celebrating 54 Years of Marriage

Grateful for God’s faithfulness as we stand at the same altar in Norwich England where the journey of our story started 54 years ago.

“Love is not love when it alteration finds or bends with the remover to remove

Oh no, it is the ever fixed mark that looks on tempests and is never shaken!”

God’s Truth Is Marching On !

What an awesome evening attending Jonathan Cahn’s service Friday night as he opened up and unveiled the scriptures in Daniel 9 concerning the detailed prophecies when Israel will celebrate their 70th anniversary of becoming a nation again on Monday, May 14.

Praise Him in the Good Times and in the Bad Times do the Same

praise

In Everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus 1 Thessalonians 5:18

I needed to be reminded of the following song today as I trust God for a healing and I believe someone else out there also needed to be uplifted by these lyrics today. Dear friend stand strong and see the salvation of the Lord!

When you’re up against a struggle, that shatters all your dreams
And your hopes have been cruelly crushed by Satan’s manifested schemes
And you feel the urge within you to submit to earthly fear
Don’t let the faith you’re standing in seem to disappear

Praise the Lord, He will work through those who praise Him
Praise the Lord, for our God inhabits praise
Praise the Lord, for the chains that seem to bind you
Serve only to remind you, that they drop powerless behind you
When you praise Him

Now, Satan is a liar and he wants to make us think
That we are paupers, when he knows himself we’re children of the King
So lift up the mighty shield of faith for the battle must be won
We know that Jesus Christ has risen and the work’s already done

 

God Is Faithful

 

Spring may have been a long time coming this year! It was a long snowy cold winter as tulips and daffodils hid their faces from the promise of their usual spring thaw of the earth. But I know God is faithful as my magnolia tree bursts in bloom as my hope is lifted to believe His Word.

Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

CHALLENGE: If you are facing a cold season, hang onto His Word for He is faithful. Galatians 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
