If You Dread Mondays
I recently saw an article in Reader’s Digest on how to “sooth the Sunday Scaries.” The Sunday Scaries? I didn’t know that was a thing, but apparently, I’m in the minority. According to the article,…

If Mondays Make You Anxious …
For many of us, attending church is a part of our worship. So far, so good, but we’ve also let our Sunday involvement at church be another day of activities.

Sleep tourism is a thing—and it’s growing. For many of us, vacation means travel. Going and doing. And to get our money’s worth, we want to do as much as possible. A hotel is just a place to shower, change clothes, and catch a few hours of sleep before we go, go, go again. Who checks into a hotel just to sleep? Well …

Did God Really Say He Would Equip Us for the Battles Ahead? - Booty and Treasures fer All!
Did God really say he would equip us for the battles ahead? Yes … yes he did. Despite the many confirming circumstances, signs, and words from God, Moses struggled to find the courage to do the thing God called him to do: Lead God’s people out of slavery. A disciple of Christ is also given […]
