Who Is This Jesus?

Never let yourself think that you are wiser than you are; simply obey the Lord and refuse to do wrong. If you do, it … Continue reading Head vs. Heart

We have our natural weather seasons - Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter - they require us to make certain adjustments as we go about our day while passing through one to another. We move through natural progressive life seasons - infant to toddler, child, teenager, … Continue reading Seasons
