Spring is here, and with Spring comes hope. We leave the cold, harsh winter and walk into the warm promise of new life.  John 16:22 says, “So will you also pass through a time of intense sorrow when I am taken from you but you will see me again! And then hearts will burst with…

This week, my busy schedule has prevented me from writing a full blog. But I wanted to pop in and give you what I promised: food and faith. With that, I offer this scripture to remember: Jeremiah 29:11.  “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you, and…
