Drought and Sin
It’s another rainy morning.
As I sit down to read my Bible, pray, and write, it is pouring down. It’s quite a stark contrast to last year.

Someone else may be living in the house; the walls may have been painted and maybe new appliances have been bought, Continue reading
Adopted
God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure. Eph 1:5
Our topic touched on adoption last night. Continue reading
Love?
Christians are constantly bombarded by being told we should love everyone!
So we should because the Bible says in 1 John 4:7, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God.

We use a gps device to locate different size containers hidden by other geocachers. This is not just a passing fad; there are 1,812,257 active geocaches and over 5 million geocachers worldwide. Continue reading
