When you read the Bible, do you try to see something new each time? Being “raised in the church,” I have heard some of the stories many times. So when I read them again, I try to see something new, some new thought I haven’t seen before. I think the Holy Spirit helps us do… Continue reading New Eyes

How can anyone say there is no God?!? As I sit and watch these birds on our window ledge, I am amazed at God’s creation. The mother bird has built such a good nest to withstand the winds and storms. It is the perfect size for her body as she sat on those eggs before… Continue reading God
