What is the difference between these two words? On the surface they seem to be the same, yet when you really dive into it they are very different.

Conflict, Patience, & Gratitude
Conflict, Patience, & Gratitude Recently, I had the blessing of attending a baptism and experiencing that joyful, peaceful feeling of the spirit. I was taken back to the day I was baptized.

Singing and Miracles
I look for God’s hand in my life everyday. More and more I see the little miracles when God is watching over me. Some ways are obvious and others are subtle or not even realized until long after.

At that time, my self care consisted of regular exercise, good nutrition, and getting my nails and hair done. The last two ofContinue reading “Learning Self Care”
Insights From Rome – Part 1 of 2

New Year, New Word, New Plan
I have always been a planner. I love to plan!
