Greener Grasses
My family has taken our first trip to New England, and it has been a whirlwind. Unlike our usual beach trip where we spend lazy days on the beach, this trip has been on the go seeing all the various coastal towns. Although different, it has been a great adventure. Back home in Georgia the …
Expansion Over Secession
Christians will have conflicts - it's unrealistic to think otherwise.

Only a temporary cooling could they provide, but in time, the remaining embers raged back …
Money Master
P.T. Barnum once said, "money is a terrible master, but an excellent servant". I couldn't agree more, but there's another component necessary to prevent money from becoming our master in the first place and to serve excellently - God. Until we realize we serve God and possess a sincere desire to honor God in all …
