I’ve been thinking a lot about perfection. And I can’t think of one way that looking or acting perfect is in line with God’s plan for our lives. Our purpose from which everything else stems is to love God and love others. Looking or acting perfect does not demonstrate our love to the One who… Continue reading Searching For Imperfection

But yesterday was one of those days; days where a million things that needed to be done plagued my mind. We had places to go, people to… Continue reading Come Near To Me

He not only wants you to remember, but he wants your mind to be consumed with… Continue reading The Devil Whispers
