Is this the Way-- I Pray!

I long to know my End

To make the Right decision.

Failure seems to

You Know it too--

It holds my triumphs Hostage!


March on, Fight again-- Slowly...

My head Down, my hands Reaching,

Sometimes Blind, barely Breathing--

Faith Taunts me-- Hear It?

“When you look back, then--

You’ll know The End”

And when you pray, you shall not be like the hypocrites. For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward.

Matthew 6:5-6

First there was the commotion about President Obama canceling the Na...

It is true that evil triumphs when good people do nothing; but how good do we think ourselves to be, when we allow the weakest in o...

In an interview on Monday with Sean Hannity on his daily Fox News Channel show, Sarah Palin was asked about her reaction to the recently passed House bill on health insurance reform. Their ten-minute exchange was a resounding right-wing rant decrying the supposed travesty of “Obama-care”; but I would like to key-in on a comment Palin made about a Pro-life Democrat, Rep.

Rep. Stupak and other Pro-l...

Trust the Lord?

Posted by Michael A. La Framboise on Saturday, March 20, 2010 In : Meditations 
     I was thinking about the way I so often have trouble trusting the Lord, how my faith frequently fails and how I often blame my God and complain about His ways. It seems that my experience is in no way unique, as many believers (if not all of us) struggle at one time or another in resting in the faithfulness of God.
     Why is this? Why do we as Christians struggle to trust the Lord?
     How is it that we doubt the love of our Father who spared not His only Son, but delivered Him up for u...
