I was thinking today about a time not so long ago when I was blogging like a mad-woman. I’d read a passage of the Bible and my mind would go into a storm of thought and inspiration and I’d have to share it. I had to. I remember at the…

I took the boys to church at Trinity Bible Church today. It was a nice, big, juicy steak. The Bible was preached… no bells or whistles, just truth. I liked it! The message was from 2 Timothy 2:1-13. My take-away: The Christian suffers while walking by faith following Christ like…
