A Christian Woman’s Response To What The Bible Has To Say About Alcohol
What does the Bible have to say about alcohol? Should Christians ever drink? Is getting drunk okay? Does the Bible ever mention alcohol in a favorable way? Let’s dig into God’s Word today and see for ourselves what the Bible has to say about alcohol! My Personal Background With Alcohol First, let’s get this on the table. I lived a sheltered childhood. Growing up in the middle of nowhere on my family’s farm/ranch operation, we didn’t have hired hands so we never really got away for trips or vacations like most people do.

Wisdom Wednesday-Resting in God’s Wisdom
Resting. How many of us want to rest? Especially as a busy wife and mother, I can say that the idea of resting sounds fantastic some days. Okay, everyday.

Thanks for your support of this ministry!* What’s Football? Before marrying my husband, I could count the number of times I had watched football on one hand. And those times involved Super Bowl parties with great food and lots of friends to distract me from the mundane activity of actually watching the game. Then I met my husband Nick. He watched football, talked football, played football, coached football. You get the idea. If a football was involved, he was interested. I can safely say…

Wisdom Wednesday-Proverbs 31:30
In case you have not heard the hype on the news and on social media sites, I figured I better let you know that today is International Women’s Day. I don’t plan on touching on the politics of that issue today however I decided to focus my Wisdom Wednesday Proverb on well, a woman! Proverbs 31:30 declares, “Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” Charm is deceitful. Have you ever been around that person that just is knocks-your-socks-off-nice to your face? I have and those people scare me to death! They have to be hiding something is usually my…
