Have you ever been to grocery store when you were hungry? Whenever I go, I end up spending way more than I planned on items I didn’t even need in the first place.  Every kind of food looks good to me when I’m hungry- especially the foods that aren’t good for me. I end up...

“I am doing a new thing, now it springs forth, do you not perceive it?”  I will make a way in the wilderness.”  Isaiah 43:19. My husband Buz and I have four fabulous grandchildren.  If you are a parent or a grandparent you know the feeling of loving your children or grandchildren more than you...

Let me help you – Onesiphorus (O-nes-i-for-us). Okay, we know how to say Onesiphorus, but what is an Onesiphorus? Onesiphorus is not a what but a who. Here is what we know from 2 Timothy 1:16-18: * he often refreshed Paul in the Asian province of Rome (Turkey) * he was not ashamed of Paul...
