My heartsong


A reminder of God's unfailing love

A father's love for his child...a lot like God's love for us:



"God is like that. When we are hurting and fighting to finish, He comes and helps us."

*Song: "You Raise Me Up," by Josh Groban

A call-to-action

Somebody to lean on

A promise to embrace

Pain, suffering, sorrow, disaster, disease, disappointments and death are not the final act to our human history!

A great and marvelous event will take place someday when Jesus Christ returns to take His faithful followers HOME.

Didn't you know? Earth is not our home-- it's our training grounds. Our lives here on this side of eternity are to be spent living like Jesus-- loving the Lord our God with our full hearts and loving our neighbors as ourselves...ultimately showing the world a glimpse of our God whose heart is filled with compassion and arms are never too short to save. 

On what has been referred to as, "that great, gettin-up mornin'" (the return of Jesus Christ), "The sky shall unfold/preparing His entrance/the stars shall applaud Him/with thunders of praise/the sweet light in His eyes/shall, shall enhance those awaiting/and we shall behold Him then, face-to-face..."

Watch Sandi Patti perform her interpretation of this gospel message:


Another Time, Another Place

A song that speaks clearly for itself and puts life in proper perspective:

The Mercy Seat



"Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."-- Hebrews 4:16 (New International Version)
