“It is well with my soul…” (Horatio Spafford “When Peace Like a River”) Do we have the humility to claim that statement? Pride often prevents us from accepting blessings. Does that sound odd to you? Wouldn’t you think that pride deserves accolades? Pride is boastful, after all, right? Pride puffs up, right? So wouldn’t blessings … Continue reading My Soul

Prayer and Praise
“If the foundations be destroyed, What can the righteous do?” Psalm 11:3 KJV I was thinking about traditions the other day, about what they are.
