PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• Since I was a little girl, the idea of a message in a bottle has intrigued me. You can look at it from so many perspectives.

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• This is Day 4 of our week-long focus on the five senses: sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. Day 4–Taste.

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• When I was a kid, my mom had an arrangement of dried cattails in our formal living room (it was the late 70s/early 80s y’all…).

PRAISE & PRAYER PROMPT ••• Yesterday, I had lunch with a friend of mine and it’s the first time I’ve seen her since she recommitted her life to Christ.
