One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

How easy it is for us to just gloss over Easter and fail to give proper honor and glory to our Lord and King. Easter is a time for believers to celebrate and remember Jesus’ great sacrifice, His work on the cross, and the abundant mercy and grace afforded to us because of His great […]

As I have been preparing for our up-coming Women’s Retreat, I’ve been immersed in thoughts of shoes as the theme for our retreat is In Her Shoes. I’ve been thinking about the kinds of shoes I wear versus the kinds of shoes you wear. The truth is, we all wear different shoes, literally and figuratively. […]
