What Are We Going to Do Today, Lord?
Welcome to Faith Connections Friday! Do you look forward to each day with anticipation?

Living for Each Today
Writing (for me) in any form is therapy. I love journaling because I don’t have to care about correct grammar, punctuation, or making any sense whatsoever.

Safety in the Father’s Care
A young boy and his father are in the middle of a storm, and the young boy is afraid. The father extends his hand to his son, and the son takes his father’s hand. Why? Because he knows he is safe in his father’s care. We may experience frightening circumstances. Yet, when we commit ourselves… Continue reading Safety in the Father’s Care
