Five loaves and two small fish + thanksgiving = the perfect soil for miracles I’d love to say that every day of my life is full of sunshine and happiness. But it’s not.

Insights from the Wilderness
Read moreFor the past week I’ve been on a staycation of sorts. Basically, I’ve been dog/house sitting away from home and it’s been pretty good. During said staycation I’ve had quite a bit of time to myself. The introvert in me loves it although I’ve discovered that I’m an ambivert. But that’s beside the point.

The Truth About God
Read moreAnd God saw that it was good (suitable, admirable) and He approved it. – Genesis 1 (AMPC) Here’s something to think about: in the beginning of time, all that God created was good and was only approved after He saw that it was good. That’s amazing, right? God doesn’t make mistakes—He never has and He never will. In the Christian community, we know that God is good—we say it,…
