“It is not fancy hair, gold jewelry, or fine clothes that should make you beautiful. 4 No, your beauty should come from inside you—the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit. That beauty will never disappear. It is worth very much to God.”  1 Peter 3:3-4 So yesterday...

Marley, oh Marley…you were lost and now your found. The Prodigal Dog. So many people have been asking me about our dog, Marley. First of all, your kindness and concern is so precious and appreciated. Thank you. I must say, Marley is a character. When she arrived home...

  “I beg you to live the way God’s people should live, because He chose you to be His. 2 Always be humble and gentle. Be patient and accept each other with love.” Ephesians 4:1-2 Okay, I can think of several situations that God reminds me to be patient with each...
