Fasting or Famine

My favorite bible study of all time is Jesus the One and Only by Beth Moore. There are many reasons it is my favorite. The biggest reason is every time I go through it, I am reminded of God’s incredible, inexplicable love for us and it kindles a fire deep in my soul for him.

Hurry up!

I am always on time. Rarely, am I late. If I am, I am probably not too happy. I hate being late. I might add that this happened later in life, because as a teenager I am pretty sure I contributed to my Dad’s gray hairs with my inability to be on time. Yesterday, my

The Birthday Card

I have been watching Tidying Up with Marie Kondo lately. She is inspiring me to clear my space. I am not getting crazy with the clean up, but taking my time. I am cleaning out one space at a time following her method. In the KonMari method, you sort through papers. The ultimate goal is to

Lottie Moon: An Original International Women’s Day Hero

Today is International Women’s Day. The theme this year is #BalanceForBetter. The idea behind the theme is a gender-balance world is a better world.
