Do you have demon hunters in your midst?

Facing our inner demons (and finding peace anyway) This weekend, all four of my grandkids slept over at our house. As you can imagine it was quite lively!

Some stress is good for you

A First Time Experience Last week, I did something that challenged me—physically, mentally, and spiritually. I completed a three-day water fast. Yup. I did that.
