Psalm 139:1-2
I am never alone–God is always there, He always sees. He knows my every outward move, and can see the inside, too. Nothing is ever lost from His eyes.
Tolerance of God
The heart of man is fertile ground For every evil ever found: Injustice, greed, And every breed Of lust and hate in there is bound. God cannot call the sinner just. To tell a lie would break all trust: No judge to rule Oppressors cruel, No vengeance for those crushed to dust. But though all… Read More Tolerance of God

It’s not just the promises and blessings… Read More Singing Statutes
Not by Sight
Faith. Believing, trusting that something is so, even when you cannot see it. Faith does not make something so–it doesn’t matter how hard I believe that fence is not electric, if it is, it will still shock me when I touch it. God is true, whether or not anyone believes, and He does what He… Read More Not by Sight

I See You
Recently, the Elementary School I work at has installed a program where the teachers can see what each of their students are doing online.
