Forgive Us….

“Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”

 

This line of the Lord’s Prayer contains so many emotions: hope, love, peace, anger, frustration, and many others depending on where you are in the process of forgiving others, yourselfand even God.  It has been my experience that this is an often [...]

Give us this day

The  line, “Give us this day our daily bread,” is so appropriate in todays’ world.  With the economy flucuating, cost of living rising, folks living without insurance and insurance companies being incredibly greedy it seems as though simple living has gotten lost.  We could change our lives drastically if we lived each day on what [...]

Thy Will be Done……Sigh…..

On occassion I watch the Red Green Show.  I really get a kick out of the montone prayer that they pray. One part is sonething along the lines of, “I’m a man and I can change if I have to.”  When it comes to God’s will beiong done humanity often seems to have that monotone sighing [...]

If The Lord Can Use An *ss!

My name is Shauna Hyde and I have issues with obedience and allegiance. You see it’s been my experience that power is abused and authority is used to control, subject, and in general irritate other folks just it’s possible. It is difficult for me to place myself under anyone’s archy……but then I met Christ….as a [...]
