Don’t you hate it when life is hard? The same old trials, over and over again? Sometimes I wish I could escape to Italy . . . or Hawaii . . or maybe even North Carolina. Anywhere nice and cushy and problem-free. Give me a chair by the water and an icy frappe with a […]

Bible Study: When You’re Not Good Enough
Do you ever feel like you’re not good enough? Or that if you could just change that one thing about yourself or your life, that then people would love and respect you? It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking we have to perform if we want people to love and accept us. This […]
