I am reading a book (you should definitely read this one too!) about William [...]

I have not truly feasted on the Bread of Life in quite some time. My life has become a simple “going through the motions” pretty often over the last year or so. Over the last few weeks I have sensed God calling me to return to His Word, the Bible, the most life-changing [...]

Unbelievable!
There is no way to fully describe on paper how incredible my summer was! It was quite possibly the best summer I have ever had… although the summers of ‘01 and ‘03 both give it a run for it’s money… I think I will have a competition between the 3 odd summers, and each summer [...]
