The name of this linkup is Recharge Wednesday. I don’t know about you, but by the middle of the week, I’m starting to wane. I need to refuel because I’m human. Our heroes in the faith were also human, and they needed to recharge too. Here’s how they did it when they were running on empty: NOAH After the flood dried up and everyone exited the ark, Noah sacrificed to the Lord. He built an altar. Then he took some of ALL the clean animals and birds and sacrificed them (presumably the Continue Reading

Sign #3 – Your Decisions & Actions Contradict Scriptures {Blog Series: Six Signs You Are Heading in the Wrong Direction}
My late brother-in-law was a quiet man. He was known for being “quick to hear… and slow to speak” (James 1:9).

You did not Continue Reading
The Chicken-Wire Cross – A Metamorphosis in the Making {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP}

Proportionate Fear {Recharge Wednesday LINKUP PARTY}
Spiders and I have a tenuous relationship. As a little girl, I thought they were downright freaky. But my beloved grandmother loved to scoop up daddy long-legs and sweet talk ‘em. More afraid I’d disappoint her than I was of the nickel-sized monsters, I’d give the spiders she found chummy names and pretend to be interested. Once upon another time in Ecuador, classmates had a phobia of the little eight-legged reminders that evil has corrupted this world. In the safety of my own room, I gave Continue Reading
