Sometimes the things you can't see help you see more clearly!
Where is your place of peace? Where do you go to wind down and shed all of the stresses of the world? For most people, it is definitely not out in the world. Every day that we are out there, whether we are experiencing them or not, we are surrounded by challenges, setbacks, and worries. … Continue reading Look for the Peace That God Gives
There is nothing better than the assurance of God
How does the way we respond to circumstances in the world affect the way that other see us? It matters.

I talk about summer camp from time to time here. It truly was my favorite place in the whole world when I was a child and a teenager. When I was at summer camp, I never wanted to leave. I still have friends that I met at summer camp. There were prayers that started in … Continue reading Help Others Be a Light in the World
