“For the joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10b One day last week I was working on some stuff around the house. It was my fall break and when I get a break I usually do something around the house. I am undertaking painting the interior of our home. That’s a big project,…
“He is good; his love endures forever.” 2 Chronicles 5:13 NIV I woke Monday morning to the news of the shooting in Las Vegas. My heart broke for the families of those affected and for the family of the shooter. After returning home from work, I saw on the news the death count had risen. …
