There we were, all cozy with sin and all.  We were hating what we did but when it came down to it, as soon as the temptation was thrown in our faces we succumbed to it.  Too easily.  In fact, we were such an easy score for the enemy that he didn’t have to make […]

On Good Friday my heart is full, is your heart full, too?  The very idea that the perfect Son of God would willingly put on skin, come to earth, and die a cruel death so that I can actually be one with Him makes me speechless.  This amazing, holy gift of His death (which I […]

My praying sisters just left our house.  Every other week there are six ladies who come here for prayer and fellowship.  We spend the first part of our time together talking, having fun, laughing, and just being us.  These sisters have joy in their hearts and beautiful, sparkling eyes.
