It’s interesting as the topic of getting back on track is multi-layered. First, I haven’t been posting here daily as I had been with the excuse that I left my devotional book downstairs. Second, I have a friend who needs to reconcile and realize what is taking place in his family with his kids but…

Who or what are you praising and putting at the center of your life? Who or what are you idolizing? Do you realize that is a bad thing? Do you realize how it is robbing you? Do you know that it is taking away from the realities and promises of God? Do you realize there…
As we continue to dig into the lessons and the truths, let’s hold tight to God and seek Him with all of our hearts. I found this new devotional from Michael W. Smith, published by K-Love that sounds like it will be a great thing to help us be the dads. Today’s devotional will help…
