Don’t Stop Now
The election is finally over. I don’t know about you, but I’m emotionally exhausted. We prayed hard, and some got what they prayed for, some did not.

Ten Christmas Decorations and Their Meaning There’s just something about Christmas decorations. The ambiance of stringed lights warm the heart like a flickering fire, and sparkly ribbons on packages stir anticipation and joy.

Read MoreThe Lord’s Prayer for America
One day, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1).
