It's tough to go through life without worrying. I'm just as guilty as the next person. But, it's not time well spent. It's a control issue, isn't it? If we can only trust in the Lord that we say we believe in, we could find that peace that passes all understanding. But we let doubt …
Being Of One Mind

My Mornings
Mornings on my deck with God's beautiful creations before me. I love it when the mornings are cool enough to go on our back deck and read the Scriptures for the day or write on my blog. I am surrounded by woods with the birds singing and being buzzed by the hummingbirds who come for …
