Devotional Time Activities

Within the Christian community, there are lots of buzzwords and buzzphrases. These words and phrases are trendy and important sounding, but they can also be intimidating and hard to understand. Among today’s more popular Christian buzzphrases are the words devotional time.  It’s interesting that those five short syllables can sometimes cause angst among believers including me.

11 Things I’ve Learned About Prayer

Prayer is an essential part of a Christian's life, but sometimes Christians are challenged by this spiritual discipline.

Blueberry Raspberry Greek Yogurt Popsicles

  As I type this post, we're in the midst of a heat wave.
