So here's the thing ….
I had an aha! moment recently. The topic of faith was being discussed. Faith, hope and love [Colossians 1:4-5]. These three are very closely linked together, and the lightbulb flashed. Faith is talked about. A lot. We’re told “have faith; things will work out, they always do.” But what does that really mean? The Bible… Continue reading My Aha! Moment
I find it so fascinating that a plant I had sitting in my kitchen for seven years didn't flower. I moved house, and it has flowered continually for the past six months.
