    Get busy living or get busy dying. We can live with adversity or let adversity live us.

    When Things Don’t Make Sense It doesn’t make sense to try to and figure out the way things happen. We know He said that our ways are not His ways, and who can understand the mind of the Lord? We hear the whisper of His voice, and we have a choice to get out of the boat and walk ...read more

    These Proverbs will help teach us to be to others the friend that we desire to have ourselves. When it comes to friends you must first be one to have one. What kind of friend are you?
