Fri // Steel :: Passion
Title: Guarded hearts Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. – Deuteronomy 6:5 Funny.

Thu // Warrior :: Battle
Title: The Battle is won For the battle is not yours, but God’s – 2 Chronicles 20:15c I like to watch wildlife documentaries, and they give great insight into how animals behave and why. I noticed that the cat family has similar tactics. They stock the prey, and then they attack, and it always ends […]
Wed // Grit :: Perseverance
Title: Finish Line Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us… – Hebrews 12:1c The Indy 500 came back around this year, and it was a great one. Not for wrecks or action. But for the paths the drivers took to compete and the strides they made to get the desired result. 2021 […]
