Bring It On! – Ephesians 6: 10-12
Do you have struggles in your daily life? Do you want to know where in the Bible you can find guidance for your problems? God gives us what he need to deal with those things in life that give us fears and anxieties. What has God provided? And how can we respond?

The Great Shepherd Looking Out for His Sheep
Summary of the last blog to bring you up to date: In my last blog dated May 31 about the narrative often referred to as “The Road to Emmaus” as portrayed in Luke 24: 13-35, I discussed the disciples Cleopas and another disciple (spouse, sibling, friend – identity unknown) leaving the group of grieving, puzzled…
