Rejoice…

by gidget faith

“Rejoicing” in the Bible is much deeper than simply being happy about something. Paul directed that we should “rejoice in the Lord always” (Philippians 4:4), but this cannot mean “always feel happy,” since no one can command someone to always have a particular emotion. To rejoice is to treasure a thing, to assess its value [...]

Día de Pascua

I wrote this yesterday but didn’t have a chance to publish amidst all the good food and family time (and baseball!)… I loved the connection our pastor made today with [...]
