Oh Be careful little eyes

No screens July is upon my family once again and I think I am the one that pays the biggest price. (has the biggest obstacle to overcome) My late night Netflix binges and Vudu account purchases as I work online is meant to be just a distraction, but often becomes a consummation of my eyes […]

One in the chamber

Hebrews 12:1-3 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that […]
