When my children were small and there was a fight between them, whether verbally or physically, we parents would intervene.

I love the scripture that tells us to walk by faith in Him rather than by what we see. “For we walk by faith, not by sight (2 Cor 5:7 ESV).

I love driving in my 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe. I love that power when I get behind the wheel and it takes me to my destination. Everybody loves to get to where they are going, whether walking, flying, driving, or cycling. The point is people have destinations. Everybody needs some sort of roadmap and God’s Word gives us a roadmap to the destinations He has prescribed for us to follow. On our Christia...  Read More
