Today I was reminded of something that happened with Bryson when he was just a little fella. We were out in the front yard, and he was trying to reach a star. He was jumping as high as he could at two years old. He continued this for a long...
I was sitting in my prayer chair reading my Bible one day last week. One would think it would be the most relaxing place for me. Normally, it is. However, with the challenge of the past 6 months, I noticed something alarming that morning. I realized my body was not...
“Life would be impossible without the atmosphere.” Of course, we know that is true as far as living on the earth goes, yet we fail to recognize how important atmospheres are in our home and in our lives. Things happen when the atmosphere is conducive for it. We see that...
A friend once told me a story that was quite profound. This story has remained with me for several years. I want to share it with you today. She shared with me about the men who play in the Super Bowl. She reminded me that the men who are on...
