I will shout for joy and sing your praises, for you have ransomed me. ~Psalm 71:23 I remember jumping up and down to the words “I’ve got the joy, joy, joy, joy, joy down in my heart/down in my heart to stay” as a small child in Sunday school.

Follow the Star
"When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy."

Saintly Saint
All in the Lord are saints but not all are saintly. What is the difference? It is the miracle of salvation that makes us Saints. Salvation puts us in the "family of Christ". We each have a choice of what to do from there. To be saintly or not? That is the question! Phoebe was a saintly … Continue reading Saintly Saint
