It is our human nature to avoid whatever is painful whether it is physical or mental or deep within our souls. No one likes … More SUNDAY REFLECTIONS
GOD’S peace is everywhere and oh how we search for it. We search for it in nature and in our surroundings. What our eyes see gives us a sense of peace like gazing into the ocean or looking at a mountain. But the best peace there is comes from our SAVIOR.

I don’t know about you but thinking about my word: surrender, doesn’t seem like a good thing to do. It is a hard thing to do.
