A Different Answer
How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals? That question of the day seems to be convicting no matter which way I come at it, but the way it got me was probably different than the way most people would see it. For me, the problem isn’t saying no…

I Speak Jesus
This blog has been a few years in the works… since even before I had this blog. The Lord finally gave me the release to write it, so we get to see how this goes together. My brother and I grew up in a Christian household. Our parents got saved when we were both very…
