During the month of July, we often step back and evaluate our freedoms. We take stock of the sacrifices that were made in order to provide us with such amazing rights. As a country, this is often a time to evaluate what we believe, what we stand for, and what rights we are willing to…
Do you suffer from guilt? Is it weighing you down? Admittedly, I suffer from this awful “disease” as I call it. Sure, I pray and thank God for His creation and everything that He has blessed me with. I pray for the health and safety of my family and friends and I pray the same…
Psalm 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear?” What a unique treasure for our family to own three campers! My husband, Chris and I have been camping for only three years, while his brother’s family, as well as his parents have a few more adventures under their…

In a few days, my son and I will be leaving for Tanzania to provide a week of Vacation Bible School for the Tanzanian children. Let me first clarify by saying that this was not my idea. It was my fourteen year old son’s idea. Everything about this trip is so far out of my…
