Lessons Learned from A Snow Day

There has been a lot of snow around here lately.

Speaking To A Nation

Can you imagine God speaking to an entire nation through the birth if your children? We all know that children are a gift from God and that He perfectly orchestrates each child and their perfect purpose, but few of us have had Hosea’s experience. Hosea’s wife was named Gomer.

Clothing Yourself in the Lord

Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the sinful nature. (Romans 13:14 NIV) How many times do I find myself wishing that I could have a nicer *insert item here* ….. Shows, hairstyle, clothes, house, etc. You get the idea. Instead of being [...]
