I am claustrophobic. Not all small spaces send me into a panic, just small spaces that do not have a very clear way out. I’m fine in an elevator, as long as it opens when expected. I can even handle a cave or a tunnel as long as I can see the exit. But I … Continue reading Find the way out!

For when I am weak, then I am strong
To keep me from becoming conceited because of these surpassingly great revelations, there was given to me a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, my power … Continue reading For when I am weak, then I am strong
The Tempting Lie
Does God want us to have fun? I 100% believe that. God created our bodies to smile and if you have noticed, we are much more attractive when we do. Our smiles light up our whole face.

What do we do when we see them walking dangerously close to the edge of a choice that will harden their hearts and bring along … Continue reading Rescuing a sinner
Redemption plan
When God first created mankind, he was hanging out with us. We were in perfect fellowship with him, oblivious to a world full of sin. We lived in a beautiful garden, alongside the animals, with fresh fruits and vegetables at our disposal. God's only forbiddance was the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. … Continue reading Redemption plan
