How to Defeat the Enemy
I recently wrote a post called “How to Recognize Spiritual Attack”. If you suspect you’ve been singled out by the enemy or have a bullseye on your back, then I hope you will take the time to read it.

It is Still Raining
Last fall our area experienced what was called a 100 year flood. It rained for days and days. My kids looked out the windows often and reported incredulously, “It. Is. STILL.
