The Watchword of this Blog

About this Blog

This blog originally published only about the 18th century Moravians. I felt and continue to believe the early Moravians were a mighty force of faith for the Lord.

That said, I have branched out with a new title for the blog - "No Plan B". The net is thrown wider as the blog morphs. The title is the guiding light for material. It wants to communicate that Jesus Christ is the only way to the Father and the glorious future He has for His people. There is no Plan B.

Thanks for your visit.

Would that every Christian, watched this video - and more than once. Was it not Jesus who said: "I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest."

Description of my other blog: The Faces of War

Every face has a story. Every photograph captures an account of that person and their emotional condition. Consider the emotions captured in my Civil War series titled - “The Faces of War.” All images are candid which is to say that none of the subjects knew they were being photographed.
