Update On August 21, 2022 I celebrated my one year ‘anniversary’ of surviving congestive heart failure (CHF). My self-named year of probation is over!

We Are God’s Poem
God’s Poem Don’t you love when you learn something you didn’t know? It’s been staring at me for years but until Pastor Josh brought it out in a sermon I had no idea. Ephesians 2 For you faith people – I bet you’ve read this passage a zillion times – I know I have. Ready?… [Read More]
Abundance – An Update & A Giveaway!
