A position on suffering
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 1:8 (NIV) These verses hit me in an unexpected way last week.

This waiting time to find a medication that would bring the … Continue reading All For Love

Where did … Continue reading Where it all Began
A Hiding Place
It was late in the day before I could flip the calendar for that day's Scripture.
