Deciduous or Evergreen: Which One Are You?

Fall is my favorite season. It is representative of the transition from the smoldering heat of summer to the cold of winter. Now, I am speaking from an ideal perspective. However, I live in Texas.

What’s In a Name?

What’s in a name hundreds of centuries-old? That’s still able to move mountains when upon it’s called. What’s in a name? Whether Gentile or Jew?

Remember When…

Photo by Michael Wysmierski on Pexels.com Yesterday, while I was cleaning, the Lord asked me a question. He asked, “Do you remember when you prayed for where you are now?” That very question caused me to pause and reflect on where I am currently in my life. Immediately, I began to recount the many petitionsContinueContinue reading “Remember When…”
