A Christmas Thought
I was impressed with something during worship service yesterday morning as we sang one of my favorite songs. As the very familiar words flowed across my mind I realized something in a different way than before.

Are You Leaning?
This morning as I struggled to get my mind focused on the new week and all that I had to get done I found myself struggling to keep focused during my time in the Word. Actually I became very frustrated and the more I fought it the worse it got. That’s when I asked the… Read more

It’s Not The Thought – It’s What You Do With It
