We are condemned to salvation through the Cross of Christ. – Oswald Chambers, My Utmost for His Highest, Feb. 2nd This one sentence stood out to me as I was reading, “we are condemned to salvation.” Condemned to salvation, it sounded so ironic when I first read it. How can ones salvation be compared to […]
I’ve been reading a book called Heaven Taken By Storm by Thomas Watson. Actually, I’ve been listening to it since I am more of an audiobook fan lately then I am reading fan. I still like reading, but it’s been difficult to find the time to read all the books I would like to read […]

Herein is wonder of wonders: He came below to raise me above, He was born like […]
I have a tendency to get lost. My husband says I have no sense of direction at all. He is right. I can have a map in my hands and still get lost. Maps are beneficial but once you make a few wrong turns, or if you start off by holding it upside down and […]
