Dearly Beloved, Devoted Friends,
I thank each and every one of you for your faithfulness. As we quickly approach this season of Lent, your presence is such a blessing to me and many others. Thank you for that! There is no other place I’d rather be than with you on Wednesday evenings. Joy! And now, read on for an encouraging word from our Heavenly Father. Peace and Love, Scott

My Peace is the treasure of treasures: the pearl of great price. It is an exquisitely costly gift, both for the Giver and the receiver. I purchased this Peace for you with My blood. You receive this gift by trusting Me in the midst of life’s storms. If you have the world’s peace-everything going your way-you don’t seek My unfathomable Peace. Thank Me when things do not go your way, because spiritual blessings come wrapped in trials. Adverse circumstances are normal in a fallen world. Expect them each day, Rejoice in the face of hardship, for I have overcome the world.
Matthew 13:46 (KJV) 46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.
James 1:2 2Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds,
John 16:33 33″I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
