I’m still a big ole kid that likes to draw and color with crayons.  So, in order to play put this talent to good use, I decorated the paper table coverings at a recent church pot luck.  Most of them are inspired by word art that I’ve seen on the web, well, mostly Pinterest. I [...]

I’ve discovered a great website, LamplightArt.com, that sells beautiful prints of scripture.  The first one I ever saw was the picture below from their Bold Series on Pinterest.

UPDATE: I have replaced the previously posted poem with the original version that is written by Carol Wimmer.  Beautifully written and articulates well what it’s like to be a Christian. I know I’m not perfect, and so many things in my day to day life will remind me of this fact, but I’ve accepted the [...]

We are gathering the Whole Armor of God! So far, we have gathered our Belt of Truth, Breastplate of Righteousness, and our Shoes Fitted with Readiness.   The fourth piece of armor discussed in Ephesians 6 is the Shield of Faith. “In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the [...]
