This site is made in honor of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who gave His life for me and whose blood has covered over my transgressions and thus reconciled me with the Father to whom forever be the glory!

This site contains pictures, videos, commentary, links, posts, writings,etc. meant to in one way or another, directly or indirectly lift up the Name, the ONLY name, under heaven, given to men, by which we must be saved, Jesus Christ.

The postings on this site are meant to provide the believer with uplifting testimony from the Spirit. If you are a believer and feel there is anything which may be perceived as detrimental to the cause and/or advancement of the Gospel, please let me know.

My personal writings are meant to inspire, instruct, and instill a grateful spirit, for I believe it is only right to give thanks to the One responsible for all things and to stay in constant contact with Him.

In addition, this site will in many ways help us to stay awake, as we await THE DAY! It is my firm belief that it is our generation that will come to see the events foretold and pre-ordained before the foundation of the earth spoken of through the prophets and to John, the beloved apostle who "testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ" and whose unveiling declares that "Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near."

Like always, LET US REJOICE IN THE LORD, as we "await in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed."

AMEN.

Current Events-The second beast....maybe the first?

VATICAN CITY — In his two years as pope, Francis has forged his own course in style, words and philosophy. The question is whether he can prod the world's largest, most tradition-bound bureaucracy to follow his iconoclastic lead and make permanent changes.

This week, he responded to terrorist threats by saying he would not mind if he was assassinated, though he asked God to make it painless because "I'm a real wimp."

"Weeks into Francis' papacy, it was already clear he was cast from a different mold," said Alistair Sear, a priest and church historian. "At that point, I thought it would take at least a couple of years before most of the changes started to stick. Now we are at that point."

The popularity of the first pope from South America has grown, particularly among U.S. Catholics, 90% of whom rated him favorably in a Pew Research Center survey this month. That's up from 84% in March 2013 and comparable to ratings John Paul II received in the '80s and '90s.

In September, Francis plans to visit Washington, New York City and Philadelphia and will become the first pope to address Congress. Last year, he played a key role in the U.S.-Cuban deal to renew diplomatic relations after more than 50 years, urging both nations to resolve their differences and open a fresh dialogue.
