In the Mirror
Do you ever look in the mirror and force yourself to smile? I know that I have done this, especially after a long night and I have to go to work again. Sometimes, life can be tiring and long, but as believers we have to remember that there are those out there that don’t have…

Through the lense of God.
As a believer in Christ, we are instructed to look at things through the lense of God’s word, the Bible. What does that mean? Well, when something happens in our life, we are to assess the situation looking at it from God’s perspective. “Not clear enough?” Example: If we are waiting for something to happen,…

Because we need it.
James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Why does God give us more Grace?… because we need it. So many times in our lives we stumble and fail in our Christian walk, but we have a wonderful God that forgives us (giving…

Cold… but Sunny and Beautiful.
This is simply the most perfect picture to show what it is like where I live in Northern Minnesota. This last week, it has been between -20° F to 0° F and it only promises to get colder. Many will say that it is too cold, but in truth, this is one of the most…
