This is my very favorite page on my web site. Why? Because it’s the page you come to for refreshing, my precious brother, my precious sister. Through the challenges of life and the weariness that can follow, come, precious one. Be refreshed… in Jesus.

This is also my favorite page because its the page you also come to, you who don’t yet know Jesus deep in your heart. I don’t know what brings you here, I don’t know what questions or hurts may be burning inside you. I do know that no matter what you may think or feel, he loves you, precious one. You are so very precious… to Jesus.

I have edited two simple slide shows. I’ve put them to a song, “Softly and Tenderly”, as arranged and sung by my friend, worship singer, Terry Clark. One slide show is photos that have been taken during my ministry travels – precious people just like you and me in this country and beyond, enjoying the love Jesus has for them. The second contains still photos, well, of “Jesus.”

As the song’s lyrics so eloquently proclaim, softly and tenderly Jesus is calling. Whether you know him well or think you know him well; if you came to this page at the urging of a friend or whatever, that lyric is the one thing in all the universe that I can fully assure you…

Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling.

Jesus is calling… you.

He loves you, precious one. He loves you, he loves you. As you watch and listen, wrap your heart in that wondrous, most breathtaking truth. Glory to the name of Jesus!
