It has a purpose. I read something today by Oswald Chambers that really spoke to my heart. It was a passage in My Utmost for His Highest and I would like to share it with you, my friend. “If ever we are going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed; you […]

Come to the Well Today is one of my high pain days so I have spent the last couple hours propped up on pillows on the couch studying and listening to the Bible on DVD. I am currently listening to John chapter four which tells the story of Jesus’ meeting with the Samaritan woman. He

To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven. Ecclesiastes 3:1 One unseasonably warm day at the end of January, my daughter, who was four at the time, and I decided to take advantage of the nice weather by going for a walk. It was a lovely day and we
