The world is full of pathways and the choices are numberless. There are some that seem attractive and desirable but eventually lead to darkness and despair. Other pathways can draw us into a comfortable existence but then our progress stops. There are the tempting choices that appeal to our physical desires that can bring personal hardships, destroying families and individuals. All is not lost. He who loves us most is there to light our path through the darkness. He can be our personal guide as we seek to find peace in this troubled world. Fear not, for His pathways are straight and His light an eternal beacon of hope. He offers a peace that will surpass all understanding. No matter how desperate, lost, alone or afraid you may feel, Our Savior Jesus Christ is there to help. All you need to do is ask.

Courage to Become..


Every human on earth is a unique child of God, each having a special balance of talents and abilities that are perfect for them. Blessings that we carried from our heavenly home, gifts from a loving Heavenly Father.
If we seek to develop these gifts the rewards can be many. But some may feel there is nothing special about me, but consider this. Talents come in many sizes shapes and forms. With some you can win gold medals, bring a crowd to their feet, make scientific discoveries or wow the world. These are outward talents that bring earned respect and notoriety. But the intangible, inward talents have great value as well. People who can soothe a broken spirit or calm a troubled heart with gentle words. Someone who can mediate between opposing sides and come to a resolution of peace. Others who see beyond the brave disguise of courage into the hearts of the fearful. Gifts of a compassion, cheerfulness, perseverance are also inward talents. You may scoff and say “Cheerfulness, awe come on how is that a talent?” But when your best friend is down in the dumps and hurting inside cheerfulness can help them see a brighter day. It can make a big difference to their lives.
Our individual stories are written daily, page by page. Talents were not given to be hidden away, but to share. Making a difference in the world around you can be gratifying and the rewards lasting.  For deep inside each us lies the desire to become better. To mold our life into something worthwhile and memorable. For many, their legacy will even outlive their tombstone.
