A Need to Create

So, I only worked Wednesday through Friday this past week... so maybe a 3-day work week is what everyone needs!

Anxiety or Joy
Ps 94:18-19 “When I said, ‘My foot is slipping,’ your love, O Lord, supported me. When anxiety was great within me, your consolation brought joy to my soul.” (NIV) What supports and upholds you in your day? Sunday morning I had a choice to make from the very start.
