Who’s the Baby-Killing-Meany Pharaoh in Exodus 1?

If you haven’t noticed, I’m going to fill you in on a little secret…Scripture can be confusing.

Who Do I Thank For My Troubles

“Day 22—I’m thankful for…” We’re a little early with Thanksgiving greetings, but I’m inspired by all those thankful folks on Facebook!

Everybody’s Got A Snag

If you’ve been following my Facebook escapades, you know I’ve recently spent some time at a mountain cabin belonging to some friends. Which mountain? Snag Mountain. Never heard of it?
