BLOG: Create your own morning garden
Summer mornings are a special time in the garden. I like to get out there a little before the sun is completely up and walk around before it gets too hot.

With the social unrest we see in communities across the nation, as well as everyday rancor online, I’m praying that God will raise up more peacemakers. What do peacemakers look like, amid un-peaceful times? Let’s look at a few insights from the life of someone who dealt with tense, dangerous and tumultuous times: Daniel. Persistent, not...
