Not Forgotten

Just because we were too busy to post does not mean we did not think about Isaac this Thanksgiving. Tuesday the 21st was his 4th birthday. At women's Bible study we sang a song about the people of God, the Church, Christ's body - and one phrase reminded me of the support in... (More)

How Important is Doctrine Anyway?

I was at a small conference last weekend, which I suppose deserves another post entirely, but in summary, God used that conference to stir up and provoke me to love and seek him more.

50 Days of Heaven - Day 4
