Kate said MORE. I am thinking. the more the merrier less is more more, please more or less More is a word we probably use “more” than we even know. And, yet in this season of my life I find I don’t want much more. I have all that I need. If I was to… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: SEARCH
Kate said search. If I was a betting woman I would say that 40% of the faith writers who participate in Five Minute Friday will use the scripture… And you will seek Me and will find Me, when you SEARCH for Me with all your heart. Jeremiah 29.13 I can’t really blame them either because… [Read More]
