ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Co-Pastor Ann Caffee

Life comes at you fast and furious! There never seems to be enough hours in the day to prevent those annoying rollover tasks. Sometimes, God abruptly interrupts our busy schedules with divinely-orchestrated pit stops. Whether it be something as simple as fixing one of life's flats, or perhaps balancing the shocks and sometimes a more complicated Will alignment even a total overhaul is required. That's exactly what happened, in the condensed version of everyday life B.C. (before Christ) according to Co-Pastor aka Annie Elizabeth Newton Scott Caffee!

A native Washingtonian, at least out doors (inside the house was straight North Carolina), Ann was the second born of seven siblings.  She was educated in the D.C. Public Schools and upon graduation from high school, jumped right into 'I'm Every Woman See Me Roar' pop-culture hype of the 60's and 70's. And off she went. She was wife, Mother, D.C. and federal government employee and part-time under-grad .student That is until the dream became a nightmare and the Wonder Woman syndrome came to a screeching climax.

That's when the Nazarene Shepherd introduced Himself. For the first time since ever, she was able to acknowledge (out loud) try as she might, she couldn't seem to make life work! But thanks to a Holy Ghost calibrated recalculation which landed her on the backside of a mountain, she was forced to pause and ponder. Coming face to face with her limitations, she surrendered her life to The Master's Plan.

Much to her own amazement, Ann's been saved over twenty-five years at this writing. She testifies that almost from the beginning, the Lord birthed the love for intercessory prayer, studying, teaching and writing about His Word in her heart and she continues this awesome ministry to this day.

Co-Pastor Ann and Pastor David will soon celebrate 38 years of marriage and proudly proclaim to be the parents of four, grandparents of 18 and the great-grandparent of the most wonderful, beautiful and naturally brilliant children born on the planet earth.

Humbly submitted and committed to the Voice and the Vision that God has given them, Ann serves assisting her husband and Pastor exemplifying the love of Christ to a lost and dying world and ministering to God’s Precious Souls.

Co-Pastor Ann invites us to join her as she sojourns on towards The High Calling of Christ Jesus. Hopefully, she says, as you glean through these pages, you'll discover some crumbs that entice, encourage and strengthen your pursuit of your own personal relationship with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ! 

SELAH!

May each day be WONDER-FILLED!

IT’S THE GOODNESS OF GOD

SELAH Daily Devotions

And thinkest thou this o man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgement of God? Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness, and forebearance and long-suffering; not kowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?(Romans 2:3-4)

One day I heard a preacher testifying that at one time he’d been an avid believer and willing partaker of one of the greatest lies that Satan has ever perpetrated to mankind. As he went on to recant his early perception of God, my mind reflected back into my own B.C. (Before Christ). Regrettably, I arrived at this conclusion, You ain’t by yourself, Preacher! Frankly a whole lot of folk would have to raise our hands bowing our heads and solemnly pronounce Amen, Preacha!

How many of you once believed that somewhere-way-out-there, there sat this Great Big Ol’ Angry God, analyzing and scrutinizing video footage of every solitary thing you did. And when you had accumulated that mystical, unknown number of sins, His Wrath would suddenly appear from heaven, striking you down  with a big sledge hammer, crushing you before flinging your po’ soul so hard and fast that it busted hell wide open! Oh, don’t play me like you never….!

Perhaps you were with that other group? One of the foolishly self-righteous who
