Back in the Routine A daily walk with Christ Happy Autumn Readers! I’m back! I hope your September was a peaceful one. Mine raced by, but I got some much needed down time for studying, praying, and practicing new habits. I learned in August, while planning our Ladies Gathering event at our church, that I

It’s election season here in the U.S. If you live here then you know what a crazy ride it is. There has been a lot of talk across conservative social media about an awakening. People that might have not usually partaken in the political rhetoric are becoming more aware of issues facing our country because
