Origins
Origins…otherwise known as genealogy, I suppose, right? I am kinda geeky about studying ancestry, genealogy, origins…whatever term you want to give it. I like to learn about my family origins and history, and even the families of the (ex) in-laws. My reasoning there is I like to do the research for the sake of my…
New Every Morning
It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is Thy faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22,23, KJV. “Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it… yet.” ― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables

God First
