Pride Before a Fall –

There are times in our walk with the Lord where He will bring you into situations that are totally out of the realm of anything you have ever encountered or experienced before.

Introspectively Speaking…

We live in a world that focuses on the faults and shortcomings of those around us… Grudge holding, is that you?  Still holding hurts of years gone past and in doing so, allowing yourself to be held captive to the pain of “their fault!” or “should have, would have, could haves but didn’ts…”:   Or maybe […]
