Greater Than Friendship
As a child, one of the most important things for me was my friendship with Jesus. Today’s verse speaks about something greater than friendship.

First, let us look at this friendship. … Continue reading Greater Than Friendship

Creator of All
Read Psalm 86. God is amazing. There are many days when I look around and I am caught up in the beauty of everything around me.

I remember the uncontained pool water … Continue reading Uncontained Joy
