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

Last week Anna was in the hospital. She had a shunt revision on Friday, but instead of our anticipated 24hr stay, we ended up in the hospital for 4 days and 3 nights.

This required a lot of folks pitching in to help out by taking care of our other children, visiting us...

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.

Have You Checked Your Pride at the Door?

I’ve never really thought of being a person that has PRIDE but recently I’ve discovered it is PRIDE that has gotten in the way for me in more ways than one! This will not be an easy subject for me to discuss because it is hard for a person with pride to admit that they’re prideful! However, through much prayer, God revealed to me that I have issues with PRIDE that need to be squashed. How many...
