There is a story even for what you had for dinner tonight. So the story behind … Continue reading Peace: When Billows Roll
The Walk
Under His Wings
When I was a child, we attended church. There were many things I enjoyed there. I had friends. We attended some of the same activities and we had a lot of fun. When I was a young teen, I was also a member of the Junior Choir. One of the things I didn’t like about … Continue reading Under His Wings
Caution! God’s Work in Progress
I’m not a big TV person but I love to watch British Comedies. My favorite show is Keeping Up Appearances. I have seen every episode multiple times.

They acquire language based on what the adults around them say. … Continue reading The Mouth: Gateway of the Heart

We all have a desire to be successful in life. We listen to successful people and seek to pattern our lives after them. We watch their videos and follow their example. Why? We desire success. But in truth and in fact, success is relative. When a baby is crawling, success in mobility requires that child … Continue reading Helping Others Succeed
