As there has been hope and fulfilled promises in the past, so there are promises that will be fulfilled in the future.

Sunday Song: He Leadeth Me

How much more can… Continue reading Saturday Song: Amazing Grace and Amazing Love
Saturday Song: It Is Well
How was your week? Was it long? Busy? How about just plain rough? One of those weeks that seems like its only purpose is to remind a person how many things could go awry. Sin. Temptations. Bad attitudes. Sickness. Car trouble. Plumbing trouble. Hurt. Relational drama. Forgiveness withheld. Bitterness. Stress. Expectations. Fear. Anxiety. In the… Continue reading Saturday Song: It Is Well
