Have you ever felt like an afterthought? Not really excluded but not really includer either,,, more of a, ‘…oh, we should also invite (you) too.’ Maybe it’s a sense of being a ‘too’. Or maybe you think you’re being taken advantage of? Or perhaps you feel you are invisible (you aren’t) – but you don’t […]
‘The mind is the devil’s playground.’ Who said that?! And yet everyone, saved or not, holds to this belief. And no, it’s not in scripture. The closest is in Proverbs 16:27 “Idle hands are the devil’s workshop; idle lips are his mouthpiece.” [TLB] But if you read this same verse in other translations, you won’t

I think we all are familiar with this word. Webster defines it as: “an interruption in time or continuity: BREAK: especially: a period when something (such as a program or activity) is suspended or interrupted” That’s what I think is happening for me, I’m beginning a new season. For the pat 14+ years I’ve been
When it comes to our mistakes, errors in judgment, sins…it’s how we respond that define us… in so many ways. ‘Doing the right thing’ is not always easy… it’s not necessarily ‘automatic’… but I think we always instinctually (or intuitively) know.
