This morning, I felt like one of the many standing in the valley of Elah gripped with fear.

The truth is … Continue reading Jehovah Tsada: The LORD of Hosts
Seventh September Dairy/Sugar Fast
In 2017 I began doing this fall fast because of stomach issues!

The President’s wife at Carolina College of Biblical Studies (CCBS), where my husband serves, approached me several months ago concerning a prayer group she was feeling led to start.

My bedroom doubles as my husband’s home office, so vacuuming the room can be a chore with books scattered here and there, and occasionally stacked, neatly, in a pile.
