Serenity Prayer by REINHOLD NIEBUHR

God grant me the Serenity to accept the things - I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; and Wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time; Enjoying one moment at a time; Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace; Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His will; That I may be reasonably happy in this life, and supremely happy with Him forever in the next. Amen. - REINHOLD NIEBUHR

New Beginnings: Born Someplace Between His-story & Hope

The Dove is symbolic of purity & peace! The Genesis of it all for us began in Texas & Utah.  Kelli raised Episcopalian & Southern Baptist later marries a young Navy man who was reared in the Mormon community.  Roughly ten years into our marriage I hit great depths of despair while operating as a Deep-Sea Diver.  That’s when I met the real Jesus of the Bible.  And we received spiritual discipleship from the First Assemblies of God—Red Hill Oahu, Hawaii. Dove Creek First Assembly, as some of you know, was founded during the 21st Century Pentecostal movement in 1936 some 30 years after the Azusa street revival in Los Angeles by A.J. Justice & his wife, Madeline.  Sent to plant & pastor by the General Council of the Assemblies of God, Springfield MO.  The original facility for assembling was made of logs hauled by the local men of the church from the Blue Mountain in Monticello, UT.  Forty years later Pastor Edward Phelps, his sons & local men built the roof we now
