Years ago, my young daughter and I went to Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. Since we didn’t have too many items, I decided to go through their self-checkout. I figured it would be much quicker since the store was very crowded. Ordinarily I might have been right, but I forgot to figure my […]
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

My daughter and I were talking recently about a swimming experience she had at a church member’s lake this past summer. She told me about how she had been swimming around in the water for a while and decided to put her goggles on and swim underwater. She went on to describe the darkness of
