Mercy.

3/7 ((from Megan)) Anyone else clunky with their spiritual gifts conversation? Someone asks what your spiritual gifts are and you toss out a self-depricating joke and deflect the question? Be real, I know some of you do. Its ok, I’m recovering from that too. What if we did that in human terms? Picture this: I…

Pastor/Shepherd.

3/6 ((from Natalie)) I’ve recently gotten a little geeky about personality tests. It started when I was out to dinner with some moms from my neighborhood.

Bread of Life.

3/1 ((from Jessica)) I heard His whisper as clear as day on that Sunday morning. “Jessica, I want you to give up carbs for Lent.” I knew it was Him, and I knew I wasn’t fancy to His opinion.  And so I did exactly what every “good girl sitting in a pew” would do…I ignored…
