What Do I Know About My God?
When I was a teenager I attended a Christian camp and was challenged by Mrs. Mardi Collier to start reading in the Psalms and write down in a notebook all the verses I found that talked about God. This project has been a huge help to me throughout the years. In my notebook at the [...]
The “Whys”
Have you been in a hard circumstance where you asked the Lord, “Why”? I doubt if there have been many of us who haven’t.
