He takes orders from none. He was created by none. He is Life – Self-Existent. There is nothing in Him that should be out of Him. Nothing out of Him that should be in Him.

Dear SCC & Friends, You have not passed this way before. ~Joshua 3:4 Reflection #291                  Never make predictions, especially about the future. ~Yogi Berra~ Modern culture inundates us with incessant information about what to do and where to go to protect our lives and future… political pundits, financial experts, spiritual gurus and the like are all vying for our time, money and energy.
