Getting Out of Your Comfort Zone
It was faith that brought Isaac into Abraham’s arms. Faith that kept Peter up when he walked on water. Faith that helped Moses lead the Israelites across the Red Sea. Faith that healed the blind man calling out to Jesus and faith that restored the health of the bleeding women. Faith that caused the walls […] Read more…
Finding hope again
I’m not sure what the hype was with the end of the world coming in 2012. The “end of the world” has come in my lifetime at least 7 times already. And yet I’m still here. Why? Well, that’s still a mystery to me. 😉 Although you may think I’m joking, this is 100% true. […] Read more…
