Sunday Sanity 5/18/25

Hey Friends,

I hope you have a wonderful Lord’s day! Mom and I are deeply saddened by the storm damage from Friday night. Many places were hit, and it is terrible! 

The reports coming from the London, Kentucky, area are horrific! We have so many family members and friends in this area, and it is heartbreakingly scary! 

Please pray for everyone who has suffered injury and or loss! Countless people are left trying to figure out what to do now. I know they need prayer and strength to survive. 

Here is some sanity for you: I'm including this little nugget from a message by Bro. Roger Luke, a few months ago. 

He was preaching on “I am still here.” We can survive the attack of the enemy!

“Pain is a testimony that Hell failed what it was trying to do to you.”

Mamaw Update And Monday Meditation

 Hey Friends,

Mamaw Update

Thank you for praying for my sweet Mamaw, and thank the Lord for helping her! We went to see her yesterday afternoon. At that point, she was still in Afib. Mamaw did not want to have her heart shocked this morning.

Not long after we left the hospital, we received an update. Then her heart rate was back to normal and staying there!

Praise the Lord! I  am so thankful for some good news! We are continuing to pray for a complete recovery. 

I want God to give her supernatural strength, which only comes from Him! Just being 80 years old does not disqualify her from a miracle! Nothing is impossible with God!

Monday Meditation

Our pastor, Bro. Bennie Sutherland preached a masterpiece last night. It was on faith and believing in miracles. I wish all of you had been there to hear it in person! There is no way that I can describe the wonderful message to you here today. 

I will tell you this: The Lord met me powerfully last night! My heart is overflowing! I may not be walking yet, but I expect it to happen anytime!

I am beyond grateful that the Lord blessed me so mightily. The visitation of His spirit is a precious thing. He renewed my faith and encouraged my soul!

I have one little nugget to leave you with. I will be meditating on this for days! This was too good to wait for Sunday Sanity!

“If I believe Him, I have NOTHING to lose! But if I don't believe Him, I have EVERYTHING to lose!”

Pastor Bennie D. Sutherland

Today I choose anew to believe! Here my heart’s cry!  “Lord I believe, help thou my unbelief!” Let today be the day! I am praising you God in advance! You deserve ALL the glory and the honor!

Thank you, friends, for reading! I will see you all tomorrow.

Sunday Sanity 4/12/25

Hey Friends,

Happy Palm Sunday. This is always a special week for me. I like to take time to reflect on the events leading up to Resurrection Sunday!

As Christians, we have a huge reason to celebrate. Our Savior is risen! We should remember and celebrate that every day! This is just a special season that we set aside to focus on His love and sacrifice for us. 

Today’s Sunday Sanity comes from our Pastor at DRPC. Last Sunday night, he preached from Psalms 85:6. This was a great message on revival and our need for personal revival now. 

“Wilt thou not revive us again: That thy people may rejoice in thee?” 

Psalm 85:6 KJV

Here is something Bro. Bennie said during his message. This statement stood out to me. I thought I would share it with you today.

“God is not a God of used to be! He don't mind you remembering, but He don't want you to live there.”

Pastor Bennie D. Sutherland-

Dryden Road Pentecostal Church, Moraine, Ohio 

Thanks for spending a moment of your Sunday with me. I hope you have a great day! Please join me here again tomorrow.

PFYC 2025 Notes

Hey Friends,

Thank you for stopping by today for a visit. It is great to have you in our little world for a moment.

The Pentecostal Fire Youth Conference 2025 took place on Thursday and Friday in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Please visit my post from both Friday and Saturday to see my PFYC 2025 pictures. My seat was not the best for great church service pictures. I did capture a few and lots of people pictures.

Mom did a fantastic job playing the piano for each service! I was proud of her! She was honored to be part of the house band this year, And some amazing musicians surrounded her!

Thousands of people from across the nation gathered at the Leconte Center. It is so encouraging to spend two days immersed in biblical teaching and surrounded by the power of God! PFYC is always a life-changing weekend for many people!

The PFYC board does a marvelous job of putting on a top-notch event! I cannot say thank you enough to the board and their team! They work hard to make sure everything runs without a hitch while allowing the spirit of God to move freely! 

This year, the Lord came down and visited me so sweetly! I am rejoicing that my spiritual batteries are recharged! I truly needed a visitation of His spirit in my life! I cannot put into words how special it is to fill the power of God so sweetly and near to me! I am left in awe of the power of a mighty God!

Landmarks was the theme for this year. I believe thousands of spiritual landmarks were erected across The Leconte Center! Below are my sermon notes from the 2025 PFYC. 

Visit the PFYC website here. Soon, you will be able to find the audio from this year and 2025 photos from the official photographer. There, you can also make plans to attend PFYC 2026. 

See you tomorrow!

 Hey Friends,

 

PFYC 2025 is complete! It was glorious! I am so glad we were able to experience it! The preaching, singing, fellowship and visitation of God’s spirit were amazing!
