Gluten Free App- Find Me Gluten Free

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to tell you about this app. The the application’s name is: Find Me Gluten Free. You can find this app in both Apple and Android versions. The premise is basic.

All Things

Born Identity

What is your “Born Identity?” A few weeks back at church, our youth pastor spoke on our “Born Identity”, a topic I have spoken about myself, in the past. A grouping of the scriptures that were referenced that night had something that I couldn’t resist writing to or sharing with you- as it spoke volumes to me! Psalm 139: 13-16 13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my...
