Who You See?

“Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.” – 1 Peter 4:8. +++ Here's a test. You've heard of tongue-twisters . . . well here's an eye-twister. See if you can read the following: "Aoccdrnig to rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoetnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be at the rghit pclae.

He’ll transform and empower you to do what you and your critics never dreamed possible! +++ There was once an old donkey that decided to go somewhere deserted to spend its last days.

All Things Works For Our Good…

We don't always understand why bad things happen to good people just like in this story, but we need to remember that God is the One who sees the big picture. I want you to be confident and know that God is in control and will always bring good out of the bad that we see. +++  A daughter is telling her mother how everything is going wrong. She is failing algebra; her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.   Meanwhile, her mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack. The daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."   "Here, have some cooking oil," her mother offers.   "Yuck" says her daughter.   "How about a couple raw eggs?"   "Gross, Mom!"   "Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"   "Mom, those are all yucky!"   To which the mother replies, "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves, but when they are put together in the right...
