By

I wanted to share one of my favorite songs, which has been very powerful in my life. Ulysses by Josh Garrels. For the times when we feel lost, overwhelmed, or just unsure of our next move, we always know the sun will rise in the morning and the true love of God will always carry…

Be confident in who who were made to be and don’t hide the light you’ve been given! “You are the light of the world – like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand,…

If you could do anything What would it be? We were all asked this question in Kindergarden. I know my answer has changed since then, as many of ours has. I can recall my little brother saying that he wanted to be an ice cream man! My answer came clear to me at around 13,…
We are first His

Obviously we are at the peak of the political season. I had promised myself I wouldn’t get involved via Facebook but a few nights ago I felt compelled to say something. Just a disclaimer: I have no intention of starting a political argument. Because of what was said in the back and forth the other…
