He Has Overcome

I have to admit today is a day where I need to fight for joy.  Not that it’s not present, but that I need to fight to remember it.  Its so easy to fix our eyes on our circumstances.  There have been so many deaths, diagnoses of cancer and divorces that have bruised my heart […]

One Little Word That Changes Everything

Posted on

   So if God’s will for you is to constantly rejoice, be in communication with Him, and to do it all with a heart of thanksgiving, then why are we so sad, quiet, and full of complaints? It’s possible we missed one little word in the text that changes everything.  It’s the word, “in”.   […]
