When my children were young, I did not know about the power of giving them a Scriptural blessing, but with my grandsons, this is something I have made part of what we do. My three grandsons are young, eight, five and three, so for them I’ve “simplified” a bit Proverbs 3:5, 6 and we say […]

Was I dreaming? I floated somewhere between a dream state and the reality of a new dawn, wandering through the living room of an abandoned mansion.

Can you believe it? Another year, 2016, is in the history books. As 2017 begins, it can be so easy to be so focused on the things we are planning for 2017 we forget to take time to thank God for His many blessings – big and small – from 2016. So, let’s take some time to remember
