Welcome to Les's Blog

Good morning! "Jesus is a thoroughly competent leader. Life begins when a person whispers, "Jesus, today you lead, and I'll follow. Whatever I have to do in my relationships, my body, my health, and my finances are in your hands. I won't try to figure out the rest of my life. I won't try to solve every day. Just today. You lead. I'll follow. " The way to glory is through humbling. The only way to freedom is through submission. The way to victory is through surrender. The way to life is the Jesus way." This is a quote from John Ortberg,  pastor of Menlo Park Presbyterian Church in Menlo Park, California, and author of The Me I Was Meant to Be (Zondervan, 2010).

I never published it! A few days after this was written I started fe

Hello there! Greetings in the Name of Jesus! It has been a while since I have written to you, my readers. I have been sick since before Christmas. Well, not really sick. Well, I was around New Year's Day! I have had a sore throat on and off for about 3 weeks. But my God is Jehovah-Rapha, the Lord my Healer! Right now He is working on my behalf.
