Dear Discouraged Moms – Dear moms, I have heard you are struggling to fight the funk that has found its way to your doorstep, into your home, and has met you lying in your bed paralyzed by the thought of facing the day. I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. All too often, I can relate.”

The Unquenchable Flame – This reader-friendly introduction to the Reformation from Michael Reeves is on sale for $2.99.

Our sense of humor is a gift from God which should be controlled as well as cultivated.
