Prayer Journey — God’s Love

This morning Lord, in this season, I contemplate your love. It is hard to grasp why you sacrificed your son for me, a sinner from birth. Yet you sent Jesus here to save us when we could not save ourselves. “Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this […]

#WednesdayWalk — Melting Hearts Around the Campfire

The camp fire crackled as I stared at his face illuminated by the orange glow of dying embers. I had never seen this courageous warrior with such concern on his face. I could see the fear in his eyes. “I tell you, they’re coming for us!” He exclaimed. “So let ‘em come,” I snapped back. […]
