“Worrying is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength–carrying two days at once.  It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time.  Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow–it empties today of its strength. . . . Jesus is stronger than all of our problems.”

Corrie ten Boom, He Cares, He Comforts: In Sickness and In Health.  Old Tappan, NJ: Fleming H. Revell Company, 1977, pages 83-84.

Corrie ten Boom was a survivor of Nazi concentration camps for hiding Jews in Holland during the Second World War.

I am a husband, father, and grandfather. The southwestern Pennsylvania is currently home, though I've called several other places home before this. I maintain a YouTube channel of Bible teaching videos and a podcast of Bible teaching audio. I like to make things out of wood and other materials. I like taking photographs and use a lot of them in my blog posts. For thirty-nine years, I served as a pastor of churches in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and New York.
