Close to my Heart

Good morning! I've been reading through the book of Jeremiah...it's so sad to read this part of the Story where God's people have wandered off...chosen things that do not satisfy over the only One who can satisfy.  How they've turned their backs on the One who loves them the most, only to give themselves over … Continue reading Close to my Heart

Reflections From the Shore, Day Two

More reflections from my quiet time on a sandy shore... Lord, You alone search me! You alone know me better than anyone!

"For by Him all things … Continue reading Reflections From the Shore
