As our American holiday of Thanksgiving draws closer, I think I will write a few articles about the things which I am thankful for. There is so much but I will attempt to hit on a few of the areas which come to my mind as the Lord leads. I will start with “technology.” Isn’t…
Today as I was prayerwalking in the brisk morning air here in Brno, I was thinking about a lot of things and for some reason a VERY old memory came into my mind. This memory caused me to think about how hard it is as an adult (especially a male) to approach God with a…
