A New Beginning – bible studies for 2014
I wasn’t sure if I was crazy or not, but I recently started two different Bible studies at the same time. In the past it’s sometimes been a struggle to keep up with one. What’s my verdict after the first week? I think this was the best decision I’ve ever made! The first study was […]

The 2nd Annual “Living and Active” Challenge

Today starts The 2nd Annual “Living and Active” Challenge! over at Peak313. I participated in this last year and just like every other […]
Accountability #1
