Whoever is around us will influence us for good or bad. We succeed by the direction we walk, where we choose to sand and where we sit. I hope you choose to walk toward God. Stand with His presence and sit with His people.

Which so many things calling for you to put your faith in them how do you know if your faith is focused in the right direction.

Paul said as his life was ending He had kept the faith. What is it he kept? I believe it was an absolute trust in the ability of Christ to complete in him what he could not complete himself.

Today mental health is a big issue. A lot of the increase in suicide can be traced to the COVID lock downs as people became more isolated and separated from one another.
