Caught!
Red-handed. Every reason to be pronounced, Guilty!

They Speak WITHOUT Saying A Word
Our family loves to camp. Preferably some place where it's quiet and city lights are far away. We are blessed to have dear friends who share their property with us.
One of our favorite things is to lie down on the ground, and watch the sky on a cloudless night. The moon and the stars provide more ...

In Christ, You Are WITHOUT Condemnation!
Many years ago I messed up pretty big. (Well, it happens much more often than I'd like to admit.) But this particular situation involved a close friend. Honestly, I can't remember all of the details anymore. But ... I was guilty. I remember getting a call from my friend--a call I had to take ...

We Can’t Please God WITHOUT Faith
The assignment was due at 11:59 p.m. She uploaded it a few minutes after 11:00. Then...I heard a gasp and, "Only two pages?"
Yesterday I wrote about Hope--not earthly hope, but biblical hope. I was fixing to be (yes, I am from Texas) tested in this very area--although it took me a while to ...
