Sure You Love Him, But Do You Like Him?

“Do two people walk hand in hand if they aren’t going to the same place?” – Amos 3:3 MSG It’s February, and love is in the air.   For most of us, love is the guy who misses the hamper, eats without a plate, and puts dents in our sofa cushions every evening.   He’s […]

Praying in the Plural

We have a guest writer today…Jan Flickinger. I’ve known Jan just a short time but was inspired when she shared a short writing.  I must admit, this gave me a different outlook on the Lord’s Prayer.  I hope you enjoy it and see the lesson that Jan’s heart was given.     Praying in the Plural […]
