What’s Wonderful?

,
With the doom and gloom of the news, there doesn't seem to be a lot that seems wonderful. However, when we really think about the world, there are some wonderful things to notice. One of my favourite songs is Louis Armstrong singing 'What…

7 ways to squeeze time!

,
I don't know about you but I find there don't seem to be enough hours in a day. Yet, we all have the same number of hours to play with. How can we manage our time better? Realising that time doesn't belong to us is a start even if this idea…

Do you feel Inadequate?

,
Yes, I have to admit that I sometimes feel inadequate but then wasn't I made to connect and rely on God for my adequacy? "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13) is true for me as it was for my late hubbie,…
