I recently read, “One danger of the internet is the temptation to constantly be everywhere except where we are.” How do we stay in the moment? Jeremy Camp sings of this in his song “Keep Me in the Moment.” My preferred method is to immerse myself in...
When my daughter was in driver’s education, I experienced something first hand…you steer where you stare. As you become a more seasoned driver you may be able to take your eyes off of the road and not immediately swerve, but you cannot stay straight...
I love songs that sing Scripture word-for-word. Elevation Worship does just that with their song “The Blessing.” It takes us straight to Numbers 6 where we have an opportunity to really soak in God’s Word. Let’s meditate on Scripture this week as we...
