It’s Monday

It’s Monday

It’s Monday. Family has gone back to their homes and the work week begins. It was just yesterday that we were celebrating Risen Christ, but is today any different than last Monday? How can it be that we so soon go back to the daily grind of life? If we have...
Mercy and Grace

Mercy and Grace

I don’t think there is ever a calm feeling when there are red and blue flashing lights in the rearview mirror. Think about when you’re driving down the highway and you see a police car checking everyone’s speed. Instinct kicks in and you probably...

How To Hear From God

How To Hear From God
