My strength comes from the Lord
I didn’t feel up to doing housework today. I have some health conditions that I am still working through. I found myself much too tired, to do much. Although, little by little, I started checking things off of my list. Eventually accomplishing all my tasks for the day. In fact, I did more than I…

His love pursues us
I remember when I was a teenager being disrespectful and back-talking. Though this never got me anywhere, as a mother I can now see how much that must have broken my mom’s heart. Of course, it has been many years since then and my perception has changed. I now see wisdom in my mother’s discipline.…

Watch out for those not from God
I attended a church years ago, where I encountered my first experience with a pastor who was not who he had proclaimed to be. At the time, I had sort of a preconceived notion, that in general, all pastors were good. Unfortunately, I found out that, that, is not always the case. Although, like the…
