The past few weeks have been full of long days with lots of work hours. I enjoy the fast-paced scene I experience at work, and it’s something that gives me a feeling of accomplishment. I know it’s not my purpose in life, but I am reminded that the way we live our lives, wherever that…Read more

I find it important to note that there is a huge distinction between the moment I recognized God as my savior and the moment I recognized Him as my Lord. I knew from a young age that I was in need of some saving grace. I fought to be the best Christian I could for…Read more

I remember back in my high school chemistry class, we had to weigh some copper wire on these scales sitting in the back of the room for an experiment. Everyone in the class had to go two or three at a time, one at each scale, until everyone was done. The only instruction we were…Read more

“The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day…Read more

Sometimes, random words will pop into my mind early in the morning and then, for some odd reason, they just set up camp and stay there all day. The word “fortified” came to my mind. And it’s not like I don’t know the word… but I still looked up the definition. According to Google the…Read more
