Heaven is Gonna be GREAT!

Benjamin (age 5) while riding in the car:

"I can't wait to go to heaben"

Smiling I reply,

"What is the first thing you are going to do when you get there?"

Looking out the window, he pauses and thinks.....

"Play Wii."

Hope Unseen (part 1)

I have a very dear friend who knows most intimate things about me. I will never forget the day we met. Like an old friend that I had known a lifetime. Over the course of the last several years, we have shared and grown in our friendship and our relationships with the LORD. Laughing, crying, encouraging, praying, and pouring over God's Word. We even share the exact same birthday (I kid you not). She comes from a family of nine. They are an amazingly close family who love the Lord dearly.

This is the story of one of her brothers, Scott M. Smiley.

"Blessed is the man who perserves under trial,

for when he has stood the test,

he will receive the crown of life."

James 1:12

"Jehovah is near all those who call on Him,

all those who call on Him in truth.
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him;

He also will hear their cry, and will save them."

Psalm 145:18-19
