Mom’s Wisdom
This morning I started reading through the book of Proverbs. I first read it, then as I took my morning run I listened to an audio version of the 1st chapter and finally I stopped running and walked. As I began walking I took time to pray the passage back to God and finally too [...]

Rhoda
Some people we read about in the Bible we don’t have a clear picture of their character, but we can see their actions and how they respond to situations.
