Two lives changed forever

For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; that I know very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths […]

How are things with your heart?

You show me the path of life. In your presence there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16:11 How are things with your heart? This question is not original to me. However, it is a question that speaks volumes to me and hopefully to you as you think about […]
