The Waves of Grief

It hasn't been a good time.  Sometimes life will throw some unpleasant stuff our way.  At times we go through it with flying colors, unscathed emotionally. Other times it stops us in our tracks and just doing normal, routine things are a big chore. The other night everything got to...

When joy is gone

Joy is gone from our hearts;  our dancing has turned to mourning. Lamentations 5:15 I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of bride and bridegroom, the sound of millstones and the light of the lamp. Jeremiah 25:10 "When you've seen...
