TAKEN FOR GRANTED
DAY 29 Today, I just wanted to draw our attention to something we often take for granted. We can very easily become focused on two dimensions of our beings: spirit and soul that we neglect the body, which is the host of those two. For a myriad of reasons, the exterior which is visible, is... Continue Reading →
ROUND UP

IT TAKES ONE MOMENT
133/365 IT TAKES ONE MOMENT One moment, one decision, one action, one mishap. Often, we are clouded by the prospect of second chances that opportunities don't seem to mean much when they are given to us. All it takes is one moment to ruin decades and years of progress. The situations we refer to as... Continue Reading →
EMOTIONS LIKE SPICES
32/365 EMOTIONS LIKE SPICES 2 Samuel 19:2 And the victory that day was turned into mourning unto all the people: for the people heard say that day how the king was grieved for his son.
