“By the grace of God, I am what I am.” 1 Corinthians 15:10 NIV Would it be a fair thing to say that at times you feel you would be the last person God would pick to do ANYTHING for His kingdom? Can I be the first to raise my hand, saying yes to that […]
“I have set the Lord always before me.” Psalm 16:8 ESV I had a new perspective on something the other day and I so want to share with you all. It was one of those whoa things that’s given me a new perspesctive. For some this post may be a bit odd, but maybe by […]

Have you seen these games on the Internet that award you a nickname? They take your personality then spit out a random title.
