What is God Saying to You Through Scripture?

A couple weeks ago, I was asked to present a thought/meditation before we took communion at church. The theme of the morning was allowing God to speak through Scripture.

So, … Continue reading Help Parents Prioritize God at Home

Scooter Adventure

Earlier today, my wife locked the keys in the car. The only way I had to get to her was by scooter, our only other mode of transportation. It was about a 10 mile drive.
