Through the Lens of Faith

 I love the saying that something fits you like a glove. Especially when people talk about an item of clothing that makes you feel so good and so beautiful. Gloves can keep us warm on these cold, winter nights. They can prevent harm to come to our precious hands and give us protection from the…

I am ready for spring. I want to put away my winter coat and feel the warm air on my bare arms. Maybe you are lucky enough to live where the weather is nice and warm more time out of the year than not. Winter can feel long for those who aren’t so lucky. Winter…

Do you grill? I don’t own one but appreciate a great burger or steak that has been cooked on one of these machines. There’s nothing better. I had to laugh when I see in this picture the fire extinguisher right next to the machine that depends on fire for its work! It makes me think…

Are you a person who keeps things bottled up? Even if it is a bunch of positive things? It can be difficult to share thoughts and feelings, especially if you have been hurt in the past. I have seen it, though, that God puts people in your life at just the right time. Perhaps this…
