2013 Year in Review
The last few days of 2013 are here … Hallelujah!

Comfort & Joy
It has been a very chilly, take-your-breath-away kind of cold here in Michigan this past week, with temperatures barely making it to 20 degrees each day.

Just a quick post to share a song that’s been ministering to me lately as I handle the tasks of each day and begin preparing my heart and mind for the upcoming holiday season. It’s also a perfect reminder of God’s love on this Sabbath Sunday. I hope it speaks to you too. Enjoy, friends! “God With Us” – All… Read More
