It Spreads – Prayer Does

Yesterday as the news broke about the passing of Toby Keith, as we usually do, we began to see posts on social media sending condolences to the family, and lifting of prayers for comfort. What struck me yesterday though, I witnessed much more than those words of comfort. I saw prayers lifted and spreading to others.

Guilty Resting

Yesterday my husband and I went to the office. Well, let me rephrase that, he went into the office and worked, I on the other hand sat out on the dock behind the church with a fishing pole in my hand 🙂 . One of the benefits of working at our church is the location. As I’ve mentioned…

Each morning and evening as I spend time with Father I make a point of praying for people by name. I pray for those who are facing health challenges, those who have lost loved ones, and those who are traveling, whatever the reason, I just make a point of naming them in my prayers. Father knows the…
