WHY THIS SITE EXISTS
You don’t have to figure this out alone.

Weekly Workout: While My Broken Shoulder Heals
While my humeral fractures heal, the doctor says: No driving, no swimming, no biking, no boogie boarding, no running, etc. My left arm must NOT BE MOVED and must remain in the sling and swath, bound firmly to my side. This does not mean, however, that working out is out of the question. On the […]
Faith Reflection – “Give Thanks in All Circumstances”
Be joyful always; pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 When bad things used to happen to me, my first reaction was to be mad at God. Why did He allow this terrible thing to happen to me? Why didn’t He rescue […]
