True Service

Josiah “serving” my Dad. True Christian service takes place outside of the church, not only within its walls. This is a quote from the message yesterday that has been resounding in my heart and head ever since. How many times do we mentally check off service for God as teaching a class, bringing food to […]

Is your house filled with yelling children, loud talk, spiteful words, and hasty action. Does choas reign within your walls and make you want to hide in the bathroom? I am on a journey to create peace within my home. I want my home to be a relaxing place for people to come. Not place […]
