I enjoy keeping up with the news and today there is a lot to keep up with! But a steady dose of this world’s news can quickly leave you negative and depressed which is why we need an even steadier dose of the good news !! Too much of the world’s versions of news will […]
If you have read the Bible you know that there is peppered throughout its pages instances where God has allowed plagues or pandemics to occur. Some have been initiated directly by Him as in the plagues of Egypt prior to the exodus. Others have been instigated by Satan as in the book of Job. But […]
Isn’t it utterly amazing how a microscopic organism such as a virus can wreak so much havoc and change our perspective?! COVID-19 has really changed many people’s way of looking at things now.
