Thursday Thought - Light of the World
There are many reasons why I’m thankful that I wasn’t born 100+ years ago: I like air-conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter.

Monday Mission - Are you ready?
Now that this is the second week of 2024, I’m still thinking about what this year could look like for me. I heard the question asked in a podcast, “Is your soul ready for 2024?”. That really got me thinking; am I truly bringing God into my life and into all my plans.
Friday Devotions – Resolve
When I was growing up, “New Years Resolutions” seemed to be a much bigger deal than they are today.
