Homesick…
I've talked about it before, but "My Verse" is Philippians 1:20. Its my favorite, it's one that struck me back in high school and became "mine". It my hope, it's where I'm going.

I've been promised a home forever... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPLDMAswKf8&list=RDmPLDMAswKf8&start_radio=1 I eagerly expect and … Continue reading Homesick…

HE Knows (Halleluiah)!
https://youtu.be/H1L6zv_ilzY?si=D4RoqvQMebtePqRp We probably have all read Jeremiah 29:11. The other day I was reading my bible and noticed Jeremiah 29:10 unlike I ever have before!

Then … Continue reading HE Knows (Halleluiah)!

I'm thankful for HIM! A look back at Thanksgiving 2025 posts: Thanksgiving … Continue reading Your Ways Are Higher!
