Yes, YOU Are God’s Masterpiece
Last week, I had one of those moments where I knew I’d experienced a breakthrough in my character growth. This tiny transformation was especially precious to me because it had been formed from lots of pushing through the muck of muddy and uncomfortable situations and countless “how-in-the-world-do-I-handle-this?” conversations with God.

Candy Corn Activities, Crafts, and Recipes for Kids
I have to admit that I was never a big candy corn eater when I was a kid. I do remember my mom buying it every fall, but I never really cared for it. Crazy, I know! Well, now as an adult, I gobble it up! And my kids do too. That stuff is addicting!Continue Reading
