2018: A Year For Hope (Week 3)
She closes the door and leans up against it, but it does no good. She can still hear the cutting rants of her stepson as he shouts to the world how much he hates her, how he wishes his dad never married her, and begs her to go away and leave them alone.

2018: A Year For Hope (Week 2)
“I hate my job”, he mumbles to no one particular. “It was the best way to put food on the table when the kids were small, but then there was a mortgage to pay, and college after that.

Crossing Jordan: walking into your inheritance
It was several years ago when I first noticed it while reading Psalm 37. Over and over again, the same phrase … “inherit the earth / inherit the land” And I thought to myself, what in the world does that mean?
