Author: Without Limit
My name is Tim, and I am a life-long mountaineer living on the northern plains, enjoying my God and a wild life without limits with him. Coming into a conscious union with Him has revolutionized my living every day. I am finding what Jesus meant when He said that He came that "they might have life, and have it to the full."
The fullness Christ lives in His children is not as the world sees fullness. It is not of the things of this world or the things that feed our flesh. It is bigger and better than that. It is the fullness of our God Himself! I hope this website will help some of you to find this life without limit as well.

On Scarcity and Abundance
You have no idea how difficult it really is right now! Oh the times have I felt this way. I am certain you have felt it, too. Pressures mount. Friends pull away. Stress leads to health problems. Money gets tight, really tight. People who should behave better go on the attack. We see our world …
On Overflowing
Overflowing with thankfulness. There is a curious phrase for you. How many of us feel like we are overflowing with thankfulness most of the time? So many people live their lives without much thankfulness at all, for anything. Yet if we have life, we have much for which to be thankful. Every day we are …
