Don't fear whatever God lays before you today.

I live in a village where people still care about each other, largely.

One of the things that makes a dead leaf fall to the ground is the bud of the new leaf that pushes it off the limb.

Easter is never deserved.

Phillipians 4:13 for Pete's sake!

Love is an endless act of forgiveness.

There may be circumstances in this life that God uses to keep bringing us back to Him, looking for His grace.
