How to Celebrate Good Friday and a Give AWAY!
The question hangs in the air. It asked by countless people across the world. “Why is Good Friday called good?” That question reverberates with me each year as Easter approaches. I wonder how I can celebrate a sham of a trial, an innocent man sentenced to die, a gruesome death, and all for me. But…

Can Anyone Not Sin for a Whole Day?
My eight-year-old asks lots of questions. Questions to which I do not know the answer. Questions whose answers are difficult for me to frame answers for much less an eight-year-old.

God-sized Prayers
Ordinary. That is how I thought of myself as a young girl. Plain, girl next door, nothing too notable about me. This ordinary girl gave her life to Jesus at the age of seven. I feared hell, loved Jesus for His amazing sacrifice, and opened the door of my heart to Him. I lived an…
