The Obituary of Richard Cory

Did God Invent Cake Pops?
My daughter, Michelle, opened the oven – the cake was a flop! It was supposed to be a layer cake. She had planned a luscious filling, and either fluffy frosting or flowers created with fondant. It would have been almost too beautiful to eat. But an ingredient was too old, or the oven temperature was wrong, and there it... >Read More

Sexual Healing – Life Maps Exercise
When we let God show us how our past has hurt us, He’s able to heal our brokenness. But the first step and often the hardest is acknowledging what’s happened to us.
