On Precious Beginnings

A friend of mine and his bride just had a little baby boy. The little Californian landed just a few days back and after a brief stay in the hospital due to minor complications his parents brought him home. What overwhelming joy to hold a precious little one, and while my smallest bambina is eight years old now and baby number 1 is twenty-one, I am still warmed of the precious thoughts of each one. Even my son who is now 16, and standing taller than me by half a foot invokes memories of his tiny little eyes looking up at me just minutes after his birth.



At this writing, it is now fully spring. The buds are white and pink on the trees and the grass has lost its brown hue, giving way to irish green; the flowers are aburst. It reminds me of each precious day we have before our Lord. A day that we have to work diligently before Him. A time that we can once again earnestly learn from Christ a new death to our selves; a time again to dedicate our life to him and adorn the earth in His precious colors. His delightful fragrance; one that draws others deeply to Him. Jesus Christ beacons the seeker with his testimony through His saints lives. Our life lived before others in an earnest Christ-honoring manner is the loudest proclamation of the Gospel. Proclaim on! In loving service. Sherrell

A Warm Welcome

This site is meant to be a home of encouragement; its aim to strengthen and share the Good News with the web traveller. The Richness of Christ is experienced only by those in whom He dwells. It is my goal to insure that you understand the Gospel message and its importance for life. In John Chapter 6, Christ asked his disciples; "...will thou also go away?". Peter's reply? "You have the words of life". Jesus emphasized in Scripture, "I have come to seek and save that which was lost" (Luke 19:10) . In saying this, Christ never presented His Glory and Grace to fill a human need, but to redeem mankind and provide the only genuine spiritual connection to the Creator. Are you connected? Salvation means life; rejection of Christ means eternal death. Read on!
