I just had to write about this although it doesn’t directly tie into the main theme of this blog. I saw this incredible video that was so amazing that I just had to share the story. I am a science, research, math nut and I love it when I read articles that show archeological or scientific evidences of God. I’m not here to convert people with this one article as I know there will be people that read this that don’t even believe in God but the excitement has been bubbling in me for days now and I just can’t contain it any longer. ...

I ' ve been bitten by the jewelry design bug. I dabbled a bit in beading last summer, but am now creating one-of-a-kind charm bracelets for an Etsy shop I will be launching in the next few weeks.

I’m not just talking about prospering with money. I’m asking about prospering with anything in life, which could include finances. “He did it with all his heart and prospered.” 2Ch 31:21 “This is no unusual occurrence; it is the general rule of the moral universe that those men prosper who do their work with all their hearts, while those are almost certain to fail who go to their labour leaving half their hearts behind them. God does not give harvests to idle men except harvests of thistles, nor is he pleased to send wealth to those who will not dig in the field to ... Read Full Story
