We must Persevere in life.
Life is hard. Agree? We often hear the quote, “No one ever said life is going to be easy.” Not even Jesus said it was going to be a piece of cake. In John 16:33, Jesus Himself said, “I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will...

Not Fake News, just Joy
When people post photos of their lives, places they go, scenes they admire, etc., don’t judge them, one way or the other, by what they post. Judging is not our job. Be careful not to think the pastures are greener on their side. Everyone's yard needs fertilizing and...
