What does it take to spread the Word of God? This is the question I asked myself Thursday afternoon. On Wednesday after posting my blog post for the day, I developed a headache. It was still there Thursday morning when I woke up and I ended up writing that day's blog post while enduring a... Continue Reading →
What does it mean to trust God? Why does it seem like our faith in Him is tested over and over again? If we were to answer these questions, I'd suggest asking the Israelites who walked out of Egypt. They saw some of God's miraculous works––I won't say most miraculous but they were pretty awesome––and... Continue Reading →
