“Life’s greatest discovery is knowing the will of God, and life’s greatest satisfaction is doing the will of God.” Do you believe that? Paul openly tells us that God’s will is always “good and acceptable and perfect.” We serve a good God Who loves us, and desires greatly to guide us through every day life! How do I find the will of God for my life?

A Father’s Influence
Fathers have a great responsibility in raising children; because the ways of the father will often times dictate the direction the children take.
The Mantle of A Godly Grandfather
What is the impact of your Father’s Day legacy? Will your child, or grandchild, be willing to pick up the mantle of God that you leave? Will they continue to walk in the Light of the Christ who died for them? It may be time to evaluate your legacy, for we are but, “70 years, or 80 by strength..and they are soon gone, and we fly away.”
Taking Time With Joan
As we grow older we may begin to feel useless, unneeded and alone. God gently takes our hand and gives us His full attention. When Jesus sees us, He does not see uselessness, but a life, well lived and well-loved. God, who is never too busy for us, challenges us to slow down, sit down, and visit with Joan or Jim today! They need our encouragement!
Where Does Time Go?
Growing old has increasing times where I find myself happy and sad at the same moment. It all revolves around love and the passing of time. Where does it go?

The Chain That I Must Break
Tom’s favorite song of all time is Bob “Dylan’s Every Grain of Sand”. It’s a song about those way-points on life’s journey when you find yourself utterly broken; that moment when you hit rock bottom and you know that something has to change. And, it’s about the life-changing grace that is found in those moments. His favorite lines from the song says, “Like Cain, I now behold this chain of events that I must break.”
Final Thoughts on Parenting Transitions
The universal fear (or dread) of parents as their children approach that high school graduation day is the knowledge that their offspring will inevitably test those wings and fly away. We hope that as they do, they will remain close to us and will always remember that they can come home whenever the need. It brings enormous comfort to believe that God actively cares for them, just as much, if not more, than He cares for us.

A River That Never Runs Dry

When The Lord Makes No Sense
Have you ever prayed about a problem and believed God for an answer, only to have the problem worsen? Have you ever cried out to God in prayer and seemingly received nothing from Him to meet your pressing need? Can you relate?
Personal Testimony of Tom Swartzwelder
The place was unimportant, the people around me were unimportant, and the time was unimportant. What was important was that I moved from unbelief to belief! I believed Jesus was truly enough! I trusted or committed my soul to Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. Have you? Will you trust and commit to Jesus?
