About me - Deborah Stewart

Life is so full of so many things! They come in and out of our lives, and leave "heartprints" along the way.

Each of us is the sum total of all who have passed in and out of our lives, and those lives whom we have touched.

Along our journey, we get to know ourselves.

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Doctrine & Issues Trusting in God: 3 of 82
I have found it; or, perhaps it found me.I have lost it.Then, once again, it came to me when I needed it the most.I had to keep thinking of Job. I had to keep reminding myself that if God didn't trust me so much-and my faith so much-He would never have let the enemy take everything in this world except my beloved son-from me.... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Do you believe in miracles?: 2 of 49
I could not see the car racing wildly down the road, because the car behind me-slowly edging me out of my parking place, was blocking my view of the left. What could I do? I completed the maneuver of pulling out onto the road, and the man behind me pulled into my place. Simple.Not simple! The drunk who had swung around the ne... More..
Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Observations: 3 of 65
I thought that I would watch the world,To see how it's heart was working.But I got distracted by the newsThat people were going mad and killing others-then themselves.What has been loosed upon the worldWhich demands innocent blood?It grows more hungry and ravenousDay by day.I thought that I would watch the world,But then, I c...

Religion & Spirituality > Christian Beliefs & Culture Could Christianity survive without the Bible?: 5 of 86
The Holy Bible is God's "love letter" to us. As Christians, we refer to this letter again and again to be reminded not only of how much God loves us, but what He expects from us.If the Holy Bible was suddenly ripped from us-every copy-(which, by the way, in inconceivable to my mind!) this generation and the one before would s...

Love existed before we did. Our capacity for love originated in the First Love which existed in the beginning.We carry bits and pieces of it in our souls, and we were meant to share it with one another. Because love is a living thing, love which is not shared is doomed to die.If you ask me for proof of my opening statement, I... More..

Look at our currency; paper or coin.How many times in the above references do you see the name "God" or mention of allegiance to Him? What about our Pledge of Allegiance?Granted; politics, in resp...

Religion & Spirituality > Spiritual Life Jealousy: A sign of love or insecurity?: 5 of 49
A question is posed: "Is jealousy this-or that?"But I ask: "Why must it be one or the other? Why can it not be a blend of both?" If we look at the physiological makeup of ourselves, we would see that we could not feel jealousy if we had not been created to do so. We cannot do what we are unable to do. It is that simple.
