~Walking In The Light~

The deliberate act of starting each day with gratitude is a powerful first step, especially when you are surrounded by distressing news. You might ask “ Why focus on thanks when the world seems to be falling apart?” 

Because beginning your day "engulfed in this continuous chaos... can be paralyzing." Gratitude is the act of calibrating your soul to the eternal, before engaging with the temporary. 

This practice isn't a...

What is Sin ?  Is it a list of rules you're not supposed to break? I can recall years ago that certain denominations considered the following to be sin: 

• Going to the movies.
• Dancing
• Women wearing make-up or pants. Always had to wear long dresses.  I remember years ago, Elder DeBorrah was a guest speaker at a women's event at a local church in one of these denominations, when she addressed this subject. 

 I'll n...

To "Say So" as the redeemed of the Lord means to acknowledge and declare a profound understanding of "Redemption".  ...

When you hear the word “beauty”, where does your mind usually go. Is it the images we see everywhere, the perfect face, the ideal body type, the latest trends? 

True beauty comes from within, specifically from one's soul, which is the essence of who they truly are. It is not superficial or external, but is deeply embedded into the fabric of one's being by God, who is love.
