Sometimes life falls apart around us.
It’s good to know God has your back!
We don’t often know what God is doing –
or where He is taking us,
but we know we can trust Him.

I will never forget the day I wrote this song. What a joy of joys filled my soul.
Should I pray you feel that touch from God at only half the strength I experienced His touch…
Then you will remember the love of the Lord brushing your soul.
Be blessed! Enjoy! Rejoice in the love of your Savior with me.

Happiness is a walk with our Creator
WHEN we know we are in the center of His will.
No better place to be.

Most of us know that love and sex are worlds apart. Nevertheless, nearly every outspoken morally minded person has had to endure the absurd justifications for errant and immoral sexual conduct BY those caught in our spheres of influence.
Consider:
How often have you encountered a guilty abuser justifying their aberrant sexu
al relationship using this phrase, “But we love each other”?
Objectively consider this fact… we DO NOT have sex with 98% of the people we truly love AND YET, somehow, we are able to continue loving those individuals! Go figure?
We all recognize that love is neither a requisite nor obligate for sex.
We also know that sex does not mean love.
In fact, if you had sex with that other 98% of those you love and don’t have sex with… you’d destroy your relationship with those individuals, probably forever. Continue reading

From The Heart, God is Great!, Hearing God's Voice, Love, Meaning of Life, Steven R. Harrel for This Side of the Whirlwind
Hey Whirlwind Fans, this is simply a prayer I offered on February 26th 2019 because I was feeling moved by the Holy Spirit as a sense of His love flowed through my spirit.
How much more blessed can a people be than to actually feel the loving presence of their God!
So here’s the prayer:
Stars fill the heavens and streak across the night’s sky.
Brilliant and glorious light bathes our world every day in life warming beauty.
Then there’s that first cry of a newborn child
The first tears from a beloved
Laughter at a distance – listening to such delight in those we love.

Are you called to feed His sheep?
If your answer is yes, then from where do you get your resources?
If you have not been fed by the Word of God or walked with the Lord in prayer thisday from where do you bring that genuine food of the Lord?
We are neither the source nor the well-spring of the Spirit; rather, we are merely the conduit of His wisdom, mercy, grace, power and forgiveness. Continue reading

What is the meaning of life?
Why do people struggle with this question as if it were so complicated?
Why do some believe the meaning of life is personalized when it cannot be?
AND… Why can the “Meaning of Life” NOT BE personalized?
It really is not that difficult of a question to answer concretely is you know the answer, right?
In this one series, “The Meaning of Life Series” we will look at the one and only real answer to that eternal question… What is the true meaning of life for humanity?
Don’t you want to know? Continue reading

Can you see yourself?
Self-Reflection… too often we see the failings of others without seeing the same failings within our own lives.
Too often we say things, do things or act in haste or with selfish motivations and then blame others for the outcomes resulting from those things we’ve said, done or acted upon.
What is the mechanism within us that deflects our own personal responsibility for our own choices; things we’ve said, deeds we’ve done or actions we’ve rendered?
Are you talking to me?
Why do we find it so hard to admit when we have done evil, selfish or willful acts?
Is it cowardice – in this instance – the lack of ability or courage to see one’s self honestly?
Why must we blame others for when we have voiced hateful remarks? “Oh, they made me say it!” Own up! You said it from your own heart and as we know, out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. That means you said it because your heart agreed with it.
