No matter what is happening in my reality; good, bad or otherwise-I am still falling in love with Jesus. My heart is His dwelling place and I pine for him daily! Never shall the scam of religion win my heart back. My romantic faith is what defines my

There are days when we (or moments within days) are not sure if tomorrow will be any better. Will we make it to that place in life (whether imagined, magical or real) we always hoped to arrive at? Of course, I am not suggesting that the 'real' doesn'

in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe. 3 The

Up front; you need to understand, there are ‘no’ quick fixes or formulas in life. I had been told that repeatedly by people wiser and further down the path than me; but still held on to the illusion of proving them wrong. Even after walking with Jesu

In Summation
“Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever. I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action, you don't really believe me. Every person the
