Dare to Ask
Scripture: Now glory be to God, who by his mighty power at work within us is able to do far more than we would ever dare to ask or even dream of—infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, or hopes.

Come to Him
The passage from Philippians 4:9 encourages practicing the teachings of Jesus, assuring that God's peace will accompany those who do so.

GPS
I love the navigation app that I have on my phone. It has become a regular voice for me as I drive, especially if it is my first time driving there. Even if I know where I'm going I still use it to see if there might be a faster route to my destination. Saturday... Continue Reading →
