My name is Linda, I am a retired nurse, a wife, mom, grandma mostly. I first knew about God and Jesus os a little girl of 3-4 when my grandmother taught me Bible stories out of her huge family Bible with all the family births, deaths and marriages. My relationship with Him was pretty rocky through my youth, teenage and young adult years. I didn't begin to really learn and accept Him until my 30s. Was baptized at 34. The first moment that had the biggest effect on me that it could only be God was in 2001 when I had a ruptured brain aneurysm. The surgeon said tha had it not been for a previous health crisis I would not have survived. There is more to this story but I won't go in to it unless someone wants to hear it later

Is of course salvation in Christ. Are you saved already? Let us know in the comments what you believe?

Hey all! I have a praise!!! I’ve been praying for our daughter’s relationship with God. I want to share this amazing experience we had with our 5 year old daughter. Wise people advised us not to let our 5 year daughter watch the passion of Christ and we normally listen to wise counsel but sadly my wife and I realize with society these days, our kids are being exposed to things far to young and not at our knowledge so we made the decision. We watched the Passion as a family on Good Friday… best decision we ever made. We paused the movie about 50 times explaining what the bible said during certain parts and answered her many questions. Her short tension span had last 3/4 of the movie and we have seen this past week her faith grow tremendously!!! So if your having second thoughts about your kids being to young. Go for it! And also I was tearing up during the movie, really hard not to be touched by what our savior endured. My daughter grabbed tissue and comforted me. It was a special moment for us. I could tell that she know how Important Jesus is in our hearts and lives. We also prayed before and after the movie for Gods guidance and Holy Spirit to be present with us! I hope this helps!!

I gave @Kenneth Harley 's struggle about the fruit of the spirit some thought and rather than some lengthy article, I'd rather give out something actionable: A tool like a mental net so that we can begin to take more of our thoughts captive as we walk along the path and strive for the straight and narrow. When life starts to feel heavy, try this. Instead of asking: “Why is this happening to me?” Ask: “What is God growing in me through this?" Let Frustration Become Formation. Let Resistance Become Purpose.

Hello, everyone! Finally got around to writing this, I've been looking forward to meeting you. I'm Erik, born and raised in NE Ohio for 26 years so far. I've worn quite a few hats over the years but I consider myself a writer and problem solver above all else. Given that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, I've found that writing about and with Him has solved every problem I've given Him. I hope to help who I can in this community and learn together on our walk with the Lord. All that being said, what are you struggling with at the moment?
