Goal for 2024 – Make the #1 Best Seller a Must Read this Year

Happy New Year! Can I Have This Dance?
Yay! The last day of 2023 was numbered 12-31-23. Aw! 123-123! That sounds like a waltz to me — dancing right on into 2024! And, if we choose God as our dance partner on this 1st day of January through to December 31st, 2024, we’ll be conquering throughout this new year! An entire year of…

Looking and Finding Him Right Here
Have you ever looked for something that was right in front of you all the time? I could be wearing my glasses, and be looking for my glasses. I could be looking for my keys and they could be right on the counter in front of me. We could be looking for the rain to…
