The trees in our backyard dress themselves in flower of purest white. Dancing on the breeze just long enough to dazzle you with their splendor and flurry to the ground like snow.

Memorize Scripture With Your Kids

Want Not
Buzzing in and out of stores today with my beautiful mother, reminded me of one haunting thing: the buying of stuff is addicting and at the very least dangerous. As a friend said the other day, “shopping begets shopping.” Scripture says it another way in Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you … [Read more…]
The Sweetest Fragrance

We frequent the store so we recognize nearly everyone and what’s more they recognize us, that’s how you know … [Read more…]
