This morning, I was thinking about the scriptures verses in Daniel. When Daniel's friends were put in the fiery furnace, they did not know what would happen to them.

They answered to God,… Continue reading When You Trust In God, Even Fire Has No Power To Harm You
Thankful For All The Good Stuff
Thanksgiving is almost here. Two more days. I love Thanksgiving. I love turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes and thanking God for all my blessings. Sometimes, it can be tense.
