Epiphany Sunday and I had an Epiphany
Today is Epiphany Sunday. I love those words: “Wise men (and women) still seek Him.” It is an EPIPHANY when one soul seeks Him and finds Him. And when we find Him, we find more than we ever imagined. For in Jesus Christ, we find forgiveness, inward peace and joy, today, and the promises of…
First in His Books
I’ve talked about me not being the “cool” girl growing up. I didn’t play sports, wasn’t on the drill team, didn’t even consider trying out for cheerleading because it seemed I had two left feet.
