Keep Out That Sneaky Serpent

Idle mind? Did Eve have an idle mind when the serpent so shrewdly hoodwinked her into believing it was okay to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil? (Genesis 3) Well, I can't speak for Eve, but I know for myself when my mind is idle I am leaving room for that…

I have to admit, most of the time I am a positive, glass half full kind of gal. I keep up with my gratitude journal, thanking God for…

Rest From Your Sheltering In Place

Over the past almost 15 days now our family has been really trying hard to heed the calling of our Government leaders by staying home. I don't know about most of you, but I am getting a little cabin fever even though the weather here is finally drying up so I can get out and…
