After giving wonderful truths about the believers future home in the New Jerusalem (chapter 21 and chapter 22:1-6), the Lord Jesus Christ encou... Full story

Becky St. John is enjoying her new career - babysitting in the winter and farming when field work calls.

Dr. Dan Siegel introduced the “word” MWe in his recent book, Brainstorm. “MWe” denotes personal growth from “only Me” to include “also We.” MWe begins with the point that each of us has an indivisible and deeply personal life. Most simply put, “Me” is all that your skin surrounds. “We,” on the other hand, is what connects you with God, with others and also with the world in which you live. MWe offers each of us a new way of understanding just what it means to follow in the footsteps of Jesus. Jesus was speaking to the “Me” of each of us when...
