Isaiah 61The Good News of Salvation 1 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of vengeance of

What is the difference? And which one are you? I think of a daydreamer as one who dreams....they have a dream, but they just hope....maybe someday it will happen. Oh yes, they talk about the dream & they want it to happen. They have hope, but they do not act on what they hope for. A dream without action is a dead dream. A dream that comes and goes, but never makes an impact in one's life or

Just the Beginning.......If I could pick one word to describe the beginning of our trip it would be adventureous!! Everything was going so smooth, considering our five children in the equation....our youngest being 7 months & still nursing...if that was adventureous enough!!! But the adventure really began in Memphis Tennesee. My dad calls us on the phone..."where are you guys?" He then warns

What happens when a wounded heart forgives.......?It's just a part of life. People hurt people. It's funny how so many times we'll blame God. Why God? Why did you do this to me? I'm sure God's wondering why we don't see the truth. No, probably not, considering he already knows the truth. The reality is, people hurt people, not God. And sometimes we hurt ourselves. I know I have made poor

My Five Children: Christian-11, Grace-8, Elise-7, Ian-3, & Ezra-6 monthsSo, I wake up to hungry children this morning. "Mom, there's no cereal, there's no oatmeal, there's no syrup for pancakes.....". Remember I mentioned it's the time of the month for me? This made for a great start to my day!! At first, I wanted to tell them all to deal w/ it. I know,I know that's not what a good mom would say

First off, I just want to say, the stories of my life I share are to give hope....Many of us are familiar w/ Raggedy Ann, but we're unfamiliar w/ the story of how she began.

From his bookshelf, he pulled a book of poems by James Whitcomb Riley, and combined the names of
