I used to be a white-knuckle flyer. Today, after many years of flight experience, I've graduated to what I'd call a reluctant flyer. The fear is still there. I've just learned to cope.

A Battle Against . . .
God never disappoints with variety and impact when He teaches me as I prepare to lead a class. One time it may be through emotional upheaval while another lesson might bring a physical challenge.

Yahweh, My Strength
By Renee Meyer Today we will look at Thanksgiving Psalms, more specifically, those psalms written by an individual as a personal offering of thanks. A thanksgiving psalm is different from a praise psalm because there is a specific danger the psalmist has faced and been delivered from. “The two components essential to the [individual thanksgiving] genre …
