Unashamed of the Cross of Christ

Christians are to be the hands and feet of Christ and I want to be that and be used by Christ to introduce them to Christ.

Trying to Steal my Joy

All or Nothing

For the first of my World Race blogs, I am starting with one that was prior to officially launching on the race in September of 2014 that even today I see as such an important mindset to have. We all have this choice of whether to give our all, and we must make that decision… Read More »

A New Start
