Let No One Deceive You

By General News
I am not a big beer guy. Not much of a small beer guy either. In fact, I have never actually consumed a beer. I have sipped a variety over the years, but of none of them did I think, “I’d like to taste more”. That reality was a little...

Ready. Set. Pray!

By Tuesday Notes
I’ve been thinking a lot this week of how often I have found myself in the Jonah story as we’ve worked our way through the book on Sunday mornings this spring. Runner from God at times? Check. Desperate prayer in desperate circumstances? Check. More concerned with my own comfort than...
