Don’t Give Up
“Let us be concerned for one another, to help one another to show love and to do good. Let us not give up the habit of meeting together, as some are doing.

The Hardest Job
I was watching a movie this week, one of the characters said "It's the hardest job you will ever do." He was talking to the mother of his child, encouraging her in one of those rough timesmost parents go through. It's easy to think that when you have nothing to compare it too. As I...

Rejoicing in hope should but at times even that seems foreign as I expect something bad to happen. We discussed this in women's Bible study last night. There was a consensus that when things are bad... Continue Reading →

The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation;this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2 This verse reminds me of the songs I used to sing at church in my childhood. They were scriptures put to music, nothing else. I don't know if our worship... Continue Reading →
