transformation of weaknesses
Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit with my oldest daughter. We were waiting on her fiance’s family to all arrive. They are taking a two week vacation to Florida. I was driving part of them in her finance’s car to the airport and returning his car to their home…

stop running and turn around.
Yesterday we explored the choices we make. We either walk with the Spirit or we walk with our old nature and in the flesh. There is no third option. While working, I meditated on the verse used yesterday. 13 For you were called to be free, brothers and sisters; only don’t use…

I have been studying the man mentioned in Paul’s letter to the Philippians: Epaphroditus. Paul had an amazing way of speaking about others and we can learn how to be Christ like by looking at the example of others in their character description. 25 But I considered it necessary to send…
