All Credit to God

July 1, 2017

As I sit here typing this, do you know what’s going on right outside the window? I’m hearing laughter and screams of delight as kids are playing tag.

Guinea Trip

Share the Light

April 2, 2017

March…I feel like something that kept coming to my mind in various ways this last month was the importance of sharing the light that I have. One way it hit me was by multiple deaths, none of the deaths were of people we were close to, but we are close to the people that they […]

April 18, 2016

Sometimes I don’t know what all to share on the blog, but then I thought about verses like Psalms 107:2a “Let those delivered by the Lord speak out…”; and Psalms 107:22 “Let them present thank offerings, and loudly proclaim what he has done!” I want to loudly declare to you what God has done in […]
