Dear Friends,
Christian “burn out” is a real issue in today’s culture. It’s so easy to get out of balance between “doing” and “being”. Ministry is taxing, but it is also VERY rewarding. Through our tireless service, we partner with God in His Kingdom work. We get to feel His presence in all that we do and say. It’s so fulfilling on so many different levels, yet Jesus Himself cautions those of us who are “doers” to not neglect the pure joy of just being in His presence. Yes, there is much to do, but also make time just to “be”. God will honor that and you! Peace and Love, Scott

Keep Your Eyes On Me, not only for direction but also for empowerment. I never lead you to do something without equipping you for the task. That is why it’s so important to seek My will in everything you do. There are many burned-out Christians who think more is always better, who deem it unspiritual to say no.
In order to know My will, you must spend time with Me-enjoying My Presence. This is not an onerous task but a delightful privilege. I will show you the path of Life; in My Presence is fullness of Joy; at My right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Psalm 16:11 (KJV) 11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Psalm 141:8 8 But my eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign LORD; in you I take refuge—do not give me over to death.
