I’ve got great news to share with you!

Earlier in my life I was diagnosed with a terminal illness, but last I checked, I’m completely healed. I’ve been telling everyone about it because it is so exciting and means everything to me. You see, my whole soul was infected with sin, leaving me with the prognosis of eternal death. However, I repented of my sin, chose to put my faith and trust in the Great Physician, and by His grace, He healed me of my disease. I am no longer destined for eternal death. I have been given the promise of eternal life. 

Did you marry your best friend, or do you just like to say you married your best friend?

It's very popular to declare some version of “My spouse is my best friend” or “I’m so blessed I got to marry my best friend.” I fully believe that those who claim it really think they mean it. But, for so many husbands and wives who want it to be true, it’s likely to be less of a reality than they may think.

According to Google, “Is God real?” is searched 200 times per second. Why? Because we are wired to worship something greater than ourselves and we will search for that greater thing until we find it.

Each summer, my family plants a small garden to which we find varying degrees of success. This past summer, we added Carolina Reaper peppers to the mix. They were created near my hometown of Fort Mill, SC and I’d been wanting to give my homemade salsa an extra kick—two excellent reasons to try our hand at growing what is said to be the hottest pepper in the world.
