Connie Writes

"Two cheers for democracy: one because it admits variety and two because it permits criticism." E.M. Foster Whether your candidate won or lost, the election is over.  We need to come together now as a nation and let the healing process begin, supporting and encouraging one another in Christian love. The Bible says we ought to exhort one another and that includes the leaders of our country.  Even with all its flaws America is still the greatest place on earth to live. Tomorrow is Veterans Day.  Thank you to all of those men and women who have fought to keep our land the home of the brave and the free.  God Bless America.

A slingshot in my hands is a kid's toy.   A slingshot in David's hand is a mighty weapon. It depends whose hands it's in. Two fish and five loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches.   Two fish and five loaves of bread in God's hands will feed thousands. It depends whose hands it's in Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse, although I wouldn’t count on it.   Nails in Jesus Christ's hands will produce salvation ...

His Banner – October 2016 When He Comes By Connie Hawkins             My late business partner, love to sing.   You’d often hear him humming a tune in the office, around the house or in his car.   One of his favorite chorus’ was “When He Comes.”   He would sing it solo in his church on a Sunday morning, sometimes.   I like the words and the meaning behind them.   In thinking about these words, it reminds me to ready myself for his coming and the holy harmony we shall all enjoy when we get to that heavenly place of joy and peace.   When He Comes Thou shalt know Him when He comes, Not by any din of drums, Nor His manner, nor His airs,   nor by anything He wears. Thou shalt know Him when He comes, Not by His crown or by His gown, But His coming known shall be, By the holy harmony which His coming makes in thee. Thou shalt know Him when He comes, when he comes...
