Taggart still cute.

Taggart loves playing with his toys. He checks every shopping bag to see if there is a new toy for him. He can never have too many.

God still reigns!

I just want to encourage everyone. Many of you like me are having are real hard time this year. You can sometimes feel surrounded by all the things that are going wrong in your life. Don't give up! When you are only looking at the things around you, then you can miss God. Scripture tells us in Psalm 121:1 "I will lift up my eyes to the hills, from whence comes my help." The key is the I will lift up my eyes. We have to choose to look for God. He has not gone away when we can't see Him because of the circumstances of our lives. Often we have good reasons to cry and be upset yet we still need to find God. It is our choice to find the light in the midst of our darkness. We need to get God's view of our circumstances rather than letting our circumstances obscure our view of God. We need to find God in everything. A little boy flying in a commercial airplane was sitting next to a lady who was shredding her tissues, trembling with anxiety and fear. "Little boy," she asked , " How can you be so calm as we travel through this storm? Aren't you terrified? The boy stopped playing with his toy plane and looked her straight in the eye and said, "I'm not worried. You see my Dad is the pilot." God still reigns, He is in control. There is nothing too difficult for Him. Lift up your head. See all the blessing, hope and vision that He has for you. As we lift Him up, we release faith, praise and the power of God.
