Try this, I know you will like it

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8
It took me a while to figure out what was meant by O taste and see. It is not an invitation to [...]

Filed Under Life | Leave a Comment
Economic troubles, natural disasters, a world at war, rising crime rates, and a world falling into depression. Cheery? Relaxed? Probably not.

I’m confessing that I stumble
and need CHRIST to be my guide.
When I say… “I am a Christian”
I’m not trying to be strong.
I’m professing that I’m [...]
