DevotionalsGod Our ProviderIn this time of economic downfall, all we hear is doom and gloom. It’s easy, even as Christians to get caught up in worry, and for some even extreme fear and depression. If these times haven’t affected you, they have surely effected someone you know, but this is not a time to throw ourselves a pity party. This is the time for faith, and faith acts.
Thinking About MercyLately I’ve been thinking a lot about mercy. Not only about the mercy that God shows me, but the mercy I give to others. I’ve been asking myself, “what is true mercy?” Is mercy my excusing away someone’s actions? Is mercy my ability to turn the other cheek?

The Best Year of Our LivesWith the new year approaching, I’ve been doing as most of us do, evaluating what I didn’t accomplish this past year and planning what I wanted to accomplish in the new year.

It’s the Most Stressful Time of the YearThis is the season known for busyness, or “bustling” as some Christmas tunes put it. We’re all rushing around trying to beat the clock, get every ribbon tied, every present purchased, and every card mailed. It’s almost enough to make you go a little bit nuts! Sure, “It’s the most wonderful time of the year,” but it’s also the most stressful!
