Seeing God in the Everyday
Someone You Should Know
Anne Frank We have been sheltering-in-place for several months now. Most of us have grown heartily tired of it. Yet others have done this for much longer, and for much greater life-and-death reasons. Anne Frank was one. Beginning July 6, 1942, Anne Frank hid with her family and others in cramped concealed rooms while Nazis…
Think About It
What lies behind you and what lies in front of you, pales in comparison to what lies inside of you. Ralph Waldo Emerson Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory!

Seeing God Everywhere
And God saw everything that He had made, and behold, it was very good (suitable, pleasant) and He approved it completely.

Trees … And Us
