Yes He Does!

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8

This verse speaks a lot of truth. He is continually looking for people to devour and lives to tear apart.

We had a big weekend planned too. Continue Reading…

I started out 2011 by posting some personal goals of mine.

Now I read the news, and when I have read my news stories for the day I feel like I am up to date with what is going on in the world, and far less stressed.

So these days I am consuming my news fix by visiting the following: CNN, Drudge Report, and USA Today.
