Jesus Suffering

It is said that Jesus saved us and that Jesus died for us. But the implications are that Jesus took our sins away and are usually lost upon us. That we should be upon the cross for our sins whether small or massive, whether be brake man’s laws or God’s laws we should be on

America Wake-Up! We are Failing Mental Health Diagnoses and Treatment of Autistic Children

I am disgusted with the State of Texas Adolescent Psychiatry’s lack of care. My grandson has a legitimate need for inpatients with a follow-up outpatient care program and was denied that help because of his diagnosis of Autism level two. The main point I am trying to get across is that Texas adolescent psychiatric medical

Travelers Prayer

“May the roads I travel be free of bumps and dips and the paths I walk be flat and clear. May the restrooms be clean, the food healthy, and bed safe for my sleeping soul. May God bless me as I begin each day in prayer, and end each day in praise.” Kat Challis Kat

It’s 2043- Where are you now?

If you knew with absolute certainty that in 20 years, that’s 2043, Christianity would be the least favored religion in The United States of America how would you change your life now, if any changes were to be sought? Would you make a list of, “Family Values,” and start teaching them to your (other relationship)

Progression of mental instability

Robert told me, “The first thirteen years of our marriage were great, then all went spiraling down when you got sick.” The sickness he referred of mental instability. The post-partum depression lasted two years, then I bounced back to my normal happy self. Then two years later we had another child. The depression lasted longer.

Suicide and Alcoholism Tragedy

My nephew was fighting alcoholism recovery and setbacks. He was discharged from the USAF two years ago for being drunk on guard duty. His life spun out of control afterward with self-help treatments like AA, swearing off drinking then, going back to it. Depression was his constant enemy. In October 2022, just two short months

Dying with Dignity

My mom has been visiting her brother and sister-in-law for a month. They live several states away. Her brother is in hospice care with cancer. His time is near the end. Dying with dignity is the most important course of action for him. Knowing about God and Jesus and their saving grace became important to

A few thoughts about Christmas

The holidays are again among us. Every month from September to January there are events to celebrate or bring revelry to us. December was quick on the heels of Thanksgiving, an American holiday to give thanks to our brave forefathers and foremothers. Now, we thank God for the Messiah being born in the city of

What is self identity?

A friend reminded me last night that everyone has issues. It got me thinking “yes some issues are hidden in one’s heart and others are viable to the world.” We often think about the ones people can not see that come out with anxiety, depression, or some other emotional response for no apparent reason. Prayers always help us overcome

It’s been four years and four months since I founded Loving Embrace Ministeries and served through Eagles View Church in North, Forth Worth Texas. It was a prayerful decision on my part. The Pastor’s mother has agreed to take over the responsibilities of the ministry, although the name will travel with me. I think my

The bounty of God’s love on Thanksgiving

The bounty of God’s love on Thanksgiving. As I write, I am reminded of God’s love. The people who we now remember as Pilgrims were desperate and called upon God’s grace for the long voyage to a new land. They had sold all that they could and chose to take passage on a ship with

Crossroads with God

Have you ever been so uncertain in your spiritual life that you just say to yourself “I don’t know who I am or what I am supposed to do with my life?” Are you at a crossroads? I grew up in a Baptist church home life. We lived by rules meant to shape us and
