Light weight in quick repetition increases endurance. Maybe that’s why the Children of Grace are subject to opposition… Usually it’s the little happenings that chip away at their resolve. Not the big things. When something monumental happens, we are surrounded by people who love and care for us. We have a support system that builds … Continue reading Endure

Just Listen
I had a friend send me a video to watch and listen and then relate my thoughts and feelings about it. I started on a blank page to compose my reply… The page remains blank to this day.

Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah were tried by fire. Literally. Their faith was put to the test as they were thrown into the furnace for bowing to their GOD. The men who bound them and who threw them into the flames were immediately burned by the roaring fire. Yet these three calmly walked in the midst, … Continue reading Fires

We all know the story of Daniel in the lions’ den. How his enemies conspired against him to put him there. How his GOD shut up the mouths of the lions and protected him.
