Cravings

We all have cravings. During the fall season, I crave pumpkin roll and pumpkin pie — two things I should not even eat because I’m not supposed to eat pumpkin. We also all have moments we give in to our cravings. Case in point: I just had pumpkin roll a few days ago. The Bible … Continue reading Cravings →

Undistracted Devotion

It’s too easy to become distracted today. We have everything available at our fingertips. This wealth of stuff can take our attention away from being present.
