Stay Grounded…

This week I've tried to write all three of my posts with the same mindset.

Often with the word … Continue reading Stay Grounded…

Just Pause…

I've taken a few moments the past week to pause, for me the "pause" is stopping to take some photos, to read, or spend time with my family.

Pants For Water

A scripture I came across (I do not remember where) is Psalm 56:8, "You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?" I like Tony Evans' commentary on this verse: "David's tears would not escape God's notice." I truly believe I am loved by the … Continue reading Pants For Water
