I think if I had to choose the most important sense amongst the 5 senses, I would choose sight. I love colour and unique objects in the environment. I am always looking to see something new or different. With our eyes we can discern so much about people. We can see what they are feeling, if ...read more

Women Of God, Servants Of God Series

Women, contrary to popular belief, hold a place of high regard with God. This is evidenced by the way God, Jesus, and even the "male chauvanist," Paul treats them.

"Blessed are you, LORD our God, King of the Universe, for not having made me a slave." “Blessed are you, LORD our God, King of the Universe, for not having made ...read more
