Retrospective: This post originally published March 7, 2024. As believers in Jesus, nothing can separate us from the love of God (Romans 8:38-39). We are connected by the Spirit of God by our faith in Jesus. Even when we are physically separated from each other, we remain connected by the Spirit. As Paul wrote in […]
Read More Together in SpiritThere are times in life when we feel so overwhelmed that it is difficult to find the words to pray. Yet God knows our need. He never leaves our side.

Read More What Does Being Poor in Spirit Get You?Years ago my daughter and I made a 24-hour drive across the central U.S. to move her to another state.
