Oceans in the Desert

By Kathi Pelton Over the past month I have noticed something that I now see reoccurring more and more. I will be engaged in fellowship with other believers and we will begin having what I call, “spiritual conversations”.  We will be talking about what God has done for us and what we are asking him…

By Kathi Pelton Less than a week before that Friday— the day that defined the true meaning of the word, “agony”— our Messiah was celebrated with the cheers of his disciples, his mother, his friends and his followers all around him.

by Kathi Pelton I absolutely love reading and praying through the psalms. No matter what part of the Bible I am studying or focusing on— I will almost always fit in time to read a psalm. And one of my favorite parts of these poems, hymns and prayers is the theme that through every stage…

By Kathi Pelton February has some significant events in my life. One of those is February 22nd because it takes me back to one of the sweetest encounters I’ve ever had with the Father. I love to share it because I know that it is not just for me— but is an experience that can…
