Choosing Faith Each Day, Romans

I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Two days ago, Charlie Kirk was assassinated. It is all over every social media feed. I have never met him, he spoke at my church once. Why do I feel a profound loss? He believed in Jesus and had a strong faith. He loved America. He loved his family. He went to college campuses to… Continue reading I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ

If God is for us, who can be against us?

Good Morning. I am still yawning from the time change. I will be happy tonight with daylight savings time, when it is bright and not dark.

Somehow I ended up with a dozen boxes and crates of photo albums and pictures, that I… Continue reading If God is for us, who can be against us?
