hear – Susan Norris

Does He hear you?

Does God still answer prayers? Or do you feel like you're talking, but no one is listening, especially God? At times it can feel that way. You pour your heart out and wait patiently... or not so patiently... for an answer that never seems to come. I don't believe God sits on His throne each day deciding who He will or will not listen to. Unlike you and I, He is the ultimate multi-tasker. While many of us have a hard time making it through our day and listening those around us, He can keep everything on earth going and [...]

I don't know if that says more about me or the art I've seen. As I looked through Sam's photos from his trip abroad one caused me to pause. It seemed to draw me in as I looked at it. It spoke to me.

What a week!

Hasn't it been a crazy week? First we were rocked as a nation by the bombing at the Boston Marathon and then the explosion of the fertilizer plant in Texas. It seems like everywhere you go people are talking about one situation or the other. Facebook has blown up with posts. Some have been news stories and others have been declaration so of prayer for the victims of either catastrophe. As a nation, we've felt raw this week. I came across a video clip of the explosion in Texas. It was taken by a man on his cellphone. He was [...]
