Devotional Thoughts: God in Me
I remember the first time I confessed. I realized I was born into sin and I was separated from God the minute I chose my own way. We call this original sin. Who knows at what moment I first chose myself over God? Probably as a toddler not willing to share my toys or hollering... Continue Reading →
Potter God
My husband and I recently set out on a road trip to visit several local potters to see their fall creations in Seagrove, NC. One man we visited, Matthew Kelly, I had watched build his own giant kiln by himself as he posted pics and progress on social media. I was struck by the beauty... Continue Reading →

Devotional Thoughts: A Great Cloud
One of my favorite verses! I love knowing I’m surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses cheering me on to do right in faith. There’s controversy, however, about who these witnesses are.
