When you slip………………………………
Does anyone else ever feel like you slip back into old ways???? I'm sure glad Paul wrote these words in Romans 7:We know that the law is spiritual, but I am not spiritual since sin rules me as if I were its slave. I do not understand the things I do. I do not do what...
Philippians Continued…….
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Phil 4:4 "Chairo," the Greek word for "rejoice" means "to be happy, or calmly cheerful." Now, I'm going to be the first to say that sometimes it does not seem easy to be happy.... or even calmly cheerful. Life...

What Does Knowing Him Really Mean???
Phil. 3:10 I want to know Christ-yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead. I think if you talk to anyone who loves God, you are going to...
Rough Places Made Smooth……
We weren't expecting to find a package on our front porch today, but there it was! A special box marked "priority mail." And best of all, it was addressed to Olivia! Olivia rarely gets mail, but LOVES to see her name on an envelope or package, so I couldn't wait to...
