Halloween
There are many Christians who see Halloween as a fun, harmless holiday, but I have the strong conviction not to celebrate it. It disappoints me to see so many Christians dressing up and taking part in the celebration. Most other holidays have something worth celebrating. Thanksgiving is being thankful for what God has given us, … Continue reading
Look toward heaven
“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” ~Colossians 3:2 This was my verse to memorize last week, but it has applied more to me this week, and it’s only Monday!

When I bought this new … Continue reading
