Say a Prayer
Often, we might see someone who appears unsmiling or looks grumpy. Yet, we don't know what's going on in their life.
Be Encouraged
It was my first climb up Mt. Hood. It was hard. More difficult than I ever imagined. We'd purchased the equipment we needed to make the climb.

With Thanksgiving
How often to we do give thanks when we ask?
Faith to be Strong
