My Actions Reveal What I Value

Isaiah 1:16-17 – 16 Wash and make yourselves clean.  Take your evil deeds out of my sight; stop doing wrong. 17 Learn to do right; seek justice.  Defend the oppressed.  Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow. James 1:27 – Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and…

Our Thoughts Tell On Us

I’m finishing up the book “DOG MAN, An Uncommon Life on a Faraway Mountain”.  It is the story of a Japanese man, Morie Sawataishi and how, in the face of strong Japanese tradition, he was a man who went against tradition and common expectations.  The major part of his life was saving, loving and breeding…
