What Is The Difference Between Mercy And Grace? And Why Should We Care?…

We usually seem to think the words Mercy and Grace are interchangeable. When we think of God, we see Him as both Merciful and Gracious…because they basically mean the same thing, right? Well sorta. I believe it is important as Christians to know the difference. Lets face it our whole faith is based around these

Let Me Direct You Elsewhere…

Well hello again! I can’t believe it is Sunday already. Sometimes these weeks just fly by. So without further ado…let me direct you to some other places I have been visiting this week!

But as I walked around I realized I had stepped into teenager land. I was passing mob after mob of adolescent, hormonal,

Let Me Direct You Elsewhere…

I know I am a day late on this, but yesterday turned into a nightmare of a day. The nightmare included a flooded basement suite, so maybe you can take pity on me and ignore the lack of blog posts this week. I figured I would do a short version of “let me direct you elsewhere” today

Learning Hospitality…From Mary And Martha…

I have been learning what it is like to be truly hospitable these days. I used to think it was about the look. When I had people over I would frantically clean every nook and cranny of my house, then I would be sure to make some sort of fantastic meal that would (hopefully) make my
