Ancient Words, Ever True

At our Women’s Retreat this past weekend we sang the song “Ancient Words.” Then we sang it again in church on Sunday. I love this song and decided I wanted to share it for Music Monday. I found this version by Michael W. Smith on...

Psalm 46 – Be Still; He Is God

The verse for our Women’s Retreat this weekend was Psalm 46:10, one of my favorites. So I decided to post Psalm 46 for Psalm Sunday. This verse often comes to mind when I am trying to pray but can’t seem to keep my mind focused....

Mercy – A Poem

Thankfulness and gratitude are easy when things are going great. But what about when life seems overwhelming and nothing goes as planned? What about the difficult days when you can’t seem to do the right thing, or have the right attitude, or pray the right...
