Faced with a 40 percent reduction in staff and funding, they focused on new peacetime missions, dismantled a cumbersome bureaucracy, reinvented procedures, and set the guidelines for achieving a vast arr...

Dear Reader In prepping for Christmas 2009 I asked the Lord for ideas. He said, write a daily book of My words to them. I was excited and anxious; it was already December 1.

The book features a poem entitled 'The Cross'. It was written from the viewpoint of the tree that was used to make the cross upon which Jesus died.

Most were written to encourage and challenge a persons walk with God. There are two lanterns on the cover that make one think of standards from the past that are both fragile and beautiful. These ...
