Do you have anyone in your life who is mean? Instead of getting mad, I have started praying for… Continue reading A Pure Heart in a Corrupt World
Strive For a Clear Conscience
I remember my dad smiling and saying to me as a child, "Why, do you have a guilty conscience?", sometimes, when I would ask a question.

There was so much that I did not know. I am still learning. A few years ago, I was going through a… Continue reading Bible Verses Are Our Shields

Thankful for a Wonderful God to Praise in the Storm
I am so thankful that God is there for me each day. God is there for each of us, no matter what we are going through. Tonight, I received an email that made my face go pale.

Christians Need To Exercise Their Right To Vote
Happy November! I guess it is time to start decorating for Christmas, right? I think that I will wait at least a few weeks. Maybe... In Virginia, we have an election on Tuesday.
