    Gates-The Fountain and Water Gates

    Two gates today which I have mentioned together as they are both water related. The Fountain Gate and the Water Gate. These gates have been very much in my thoughts and prayers the last week or so. At church we have been considering wells. We are all wells for Jesus. Sometimes our wells can become…

  • Gates -The Valley Gate

    Nehemiah re-built The Valley Gate.       This is a difficult gate and one that we don’t much want to go through- the valley experiences.    We would all much prefer to stay on the mountain top and enjoy those experiences with God but life for most of us is not like that – even the…

  • Joseph Hero of the Faith (8)

    Today’s post is no. 8 in my series on Joseph. We have already considered Joseph’s character and what was different about Joseph from his 11 brothers.
