Impossibilities
Zechariah 8:6 This is what the LORD Almighty says: All this may seem impossible to you now, a small and discouraged remnant of God’s people. But do you think this is impossible for me, the LORD Almighty? I feel a little bit like the remnant sometimes. I feel small and discouraged by the circumstances of…
Mercy and Love

Passionate Foolishness
Last night John and I went to the Hillsong United concern at the First Baptist Church Orlando. It was amazing! If you don’t know the band, they are an offshoot of the Hillsong church in Australia that was made famous by Darlene Szcheck (sp?). They write their own songs, and it’s a more rock version…
