3,500 miles in a month marks the end of my four-week trip throughout the eastern United States. The Lord was gracious enough to allow me to travel to Florida and South Carolina to visit friends en route to school in Virginia. The first week was packed full of jumping lessons, time on the beach, ocean…
Contentment in Pain

Grace
“The gospel of grace is a message of breathtaking freedom. It must be embraced with faith and thanksgiving. You are thoroughly accepted just as you are.

Since the gospel is only for sinners, preaching it to ourselves every day reminds us that we are indeed sinners in need of God’s grace. It causes us to say to God, in the…
