A Conversation with God 7/28/16 Me: God, I’m so tired. God: Come to me and rest. Me: It’s just this world is getting me down. I’m so tired of hateful, mean-spirited judgement.

A Conversation with God 7/27/16
[Me:] God, why can’t puppies be born with bigger bladders? [God:] Puppies have been born for some 65 million years, give or take a million or two, why the need for bigger bladders now?

Be On The Lookout
Psalms 16:11 You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; At Your right hand are pleasures forevermore. This morning I was reading my little devotional (Jesus Calling) and one sentence seemed to jump off the page and speak to me in a personal way. It said, “Be on…
