People have called me an old soul for years. Having an older dad meant that I listened to a lot of older music and our home was full of old traditions and values. Truthfully, I have always liked it. I even married a man that agrees. Even though we are in our early 30s, we…

Personal Bible Study
Take some extra time this weekend to spend with Jesus in your personal Bible study. Go the extra mile and set apart an hour or so to pray and really focus on what God has for you. Look up definitions of words you may not know and maybe search out for other verses that may…

Part of Growing up.
Do you ever feel like your kids are just not listening to you? Or they don’t care what you have to say? Well,… If you haven’t figured it out yet, that is pretty normal for a lot of parents. My parents went through the same things with me when I was young. But as I…
