Happy February, everybody! Can you believe that February is already here? Where did January go? It all passed in a blur for me. But here we are, one week into February already.

Resting In The Grace That Holds You

Where do believers fit in to “Pride Month”?
Rainbow heart streamers and a "love is love" banner accosted us as we walked in. Flags and decorations screamed "pride month" wickedness. The blatant display of wickedness being flaunted was despicable. I was instantly overwhelmed with sorrow that our rainbow, the beautiful symbol that God created as a promise to us, had been hijacked by … Continue reading Where do believers fit in to “Pride Month”?
An Old Fashioned Spring
Spring is one of my favorite seasons. Everything is coming alive and new. It reminds me of the new life we have in Christ when we are born again.

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are … Continue reading An Old Fashioned Spring

Regardless of views on the holiday that has been labeled "Christmas", the birth of Jesus Christ is something that should be remembered and celebrated all throughout the year. He was born … Continue reading What was the significance of the swaddling clothes?
Plead For Mercy
If you hadn't already guessed, I have a patriot's heart that bleeds the colors of my nation's flag. (Yeah, it probably comes as a shocker to most of you, I know.) From the time that I was a child, I knew that America would always have a special place in my heart. Those who know … Continue reading Plead For Mercy
Written In The Stars
Do you ever ponder who we are in regard to the Master Creator? Sometimes I just think about what our lives mean and how before time ever began, Christ knew He was destined for the Cross. It sets my mind spinning when I ponder the incredible love with which God loves us, that He knew … Continue reading Written In The Stars
