When I was chatting with God this morning he placed the title “Agent of Change” on my heart. Curious and unfamiliar with this title I felt prompted to look it up in the dictionary. It’s not like I didn’t have a pretty good idea how to define the title myself but I could sense the [...]

It all started with one simple phrase: “God wants to use you.” Do you believe it? Nine-year-old Austin Gutwein believed God wanted to use him, and before he could get a driver’s license or even watch a PG-13 movie God used him to impact the lives of thousands of Africans afflicted with HIV/AIDS with love, [...]

People spend a lot of time shopping. I try to spend as little time possible shopping. (I am not your typical female shopper.) I go in then get out. Badda-bing! Badda-boom!
