A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself. ~ Joseph Campbell Today we remember those who fought and died to secure the freedoms we hold dear. Pause this day, in the midst of grilling out, getting wet, and giving hugs, to say a prayer of thanks for those who have given their lives and those who today serve on foreign soil, prepared to give their lives, to give us the freedom to celebrate this great day. May we all remember the life given by One for us ... [Read More]
When Rest Doesn’t Come Easy
Then God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because in it He rested from all His work which He had done.

Afraid
Time and again in Scripture we're exhorted, "Do not fear." One quick search for "be not afraid" led to 54 verses in the Bible with that phrase. We know we're not supposed to be anxious or worry.

Wednesday Wanderings
or maybe I should say wonderings ... or maybe it's just both. Some of the places I've wandered these past few days include: Michael Hyatt's blog: I loved his post on Monday, Three Reasons Why You Must Guard Your Heart.
