Today’s a new day! Because we were created by God for his glory, our desire should be to know and share His truth passionately with a lost world. ~OC
Thank You!
Today’s a new day! Most of you know about my crazy beautiful health journey. For almost 18 years, I spent the majority of my life at Good Samaritan Medical Center on 4 South. Those years were not easy, but I was blessed with an amazing medical team. The Doctors, Nurses, CNA’s, Maintenance, Housekeeping, Admissions, Food Service, Tech’s, Transport and Administration became family. We spent many holidays and Super Bowls together. Each of these wonderful. amazing heroes made the tough days easier for Laura West Shoemaker and I.
As we watch this new Covid wave come through, I am concerned for my friends in the healthcare profession. I pray for them and check on them often. I encourage everyone to keep our healthcare workers in your prayers. Their job was difficult before Covid, but this horrible virus has put more of a strain on each of them. If you or a family member find yourselves in the hospital, please show these beautiful heroes respect. These amazing people are there to help you and your loved one. They are actually putting their lives and the lives of their own families on the line to help you get back to your loved ones. So today, say a prayer for all the amazing healthcare workers and hospital/nursing home staff. If you know a healthcare worker take the time to thank them for their service. ~OC

Be Kind

Faith and Fear
Today’s a new day! Faith and fear both ask you to believe in something you can’t see. Choose wisely. ~OC
Watch Who You Model
Your spouse is not your model. God is.
Your friend is not your model. God is.
Your career/job is not your model. God is.
Your church is not your model. God is.
Your pastor is not your model. God is.
Your favorite entertainer is not your model. God is.
Be careful who or what you model. ~OC
Launch
Today’s a new day! The enemy wants to use your past against you. Don’t allow your past to keep you grounded. Instead, allow your past experiences to Launch you into your amazing future. ~OC

Face of God
When I stand at the foot of the ocean and look in awe. Maybe I’m looking at the face of God.
When I see the beauty of a sunrise on a summer morning. Maybe I’m looking at the face of God.
When I try to count all the stars in the sky. Maybe I’m looking at the face of God.
When I see people worshiping and praising with their arms stretched up to heaven. Maybe I’m looking at the face of God.
When I see my bride smiling back at me. Maybe I’m looking at the face of God.
When I am lifting praises and prayers up to God, maybe I am looking at the face of God. And He’s smiling back at me. ~OC
