Pastor Tom's Journal

  When you dream great, worthy dreams, you connect to a place in your heart where you flip the switch that turns on an attitude of expectancy and wonder, thus activating imagination and motivation. When this happens, you engage your mind and your feet and your hands in the pursuit of your goals. You rally all of your resources and, if you will, by faith, God’s. Greatness is yours for the believing, receiving, and achieving when dreams partner with thoughts, deeds, and prayer. You are ready for an explosion of possibilities and I am your cheerleader! Along the Shores by Tom Sims Read on Substack

You can save your life if you are willing to endure.   Then, you can be part of something that transcends any vision of grandeur, a new world with new heavens.   As some were admiring the grandeur of one of the wonders of the world, the Temple   of YHWH in Jerusalem, Jesus drops the microphone, declaring that it will be destroyed.   There are two visions of the world:   1. The one that is and we can see.   2. The one that God sees and is creating.   We re God’s people and we can share God’s vision and mission for a new world.   Nothing is permanent, it seems, except trouble.   Yet, Jesus uses that occasion to teach us a lesson in endurance.   Luke 21:5-19
