A Little Off
I keep my Bible beside my chair… Our Church is small but we are a very close group. Not so much geographically, but we all go to each other’s houses regularly and since we are small in number, we are more like family. The other day, we had a little gathering at our house. People … Continue reading A Little Off
Nothing

Lightning and Thunder
I know people who are ceraunophiles; they love the thunder and lightning. I have a friend who loves to sit on her porch during the thunder storms. She thinks the lightning is beautiful and somehow she finds peace in the display of God’s power. I do not. I know God places each bolt of lightning … Continue reading Lightning and Thunder
