God’s view is simpler. He puts mankind in only two categories: those who choose to walk with Him and those who don’t. Genesis 4:17-6:8 …

Paradise Lost

Cheerfully Expectant
I’m not one to make New Year’s resolutions, probably because I know I’ll never keep them. Instead, for the past 12 years or more, I’ve taken some time at the beginning of each year to choose a word that will reflect what I’d like to focus on in the upcoming twelve months. My word for …
