When my oldest son was around two years old, I had a job outside the home. Every morning while I got ready for work, I would put him in the bathtub to keep a close eye on him and give me time to put my make-up on. One morning he asked if he could play
I AM ONLY ONE, BUT STILL I AM ONE. I CANNOT DO EVERYTHING, BUT STILL I CAN DO SOMETHING. YET BECAUSE I CANNOT DO EVERYTHING, I WILL NOT REFUSE TO DO THE SOMETHING THAT I CAN DO. (Author Unknown) God has given you and I a voice. Yet often, we judge the power of our

Edith Wharton once said, “There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle OR the mirror that reflects it.” Her words remind me that before you can ever truly reflect Christ to others, you must first see Christ in you. Colossians 3:10-11 says, “You’ve become a new person. This new person is continually
