Do you ever get caught between the “get to” and the “have to”? It may sound like a small distinction, but in reality, there is such a distinct difference in these two phrases that I find myself using. Here are some examples: I “have to” clean my house. Or…try this…”I…
With tomorrow being the Lord’s Day, this song cries out to me and prepares my heart. I know it is talking about the Church universal and not my particular church and yet it is meaningful to think on as I consider the Believers in the Lord Jesus Christ that I…
Last night was a long night for my husband and me… to bed at midnight due to a special event. Text from our oldest sharing something important from his day….12:15 (So glad to hear about his day! He is SO missed while away at College!) Feeding at 2:00… 2nd littlest…
