Greater Things
I tell you the truth: whoever believes in Me will be able to do what I have done, but they will do even greater things, because I will return to be with the Father. VOICE A promise? An opportunity? A possibility? A dormant potential? A hope? A dream? An end to be fulfilled? My gift …
I’m Okay, I’m Not Okay

I Will Fail
I know I will fail. That is the thought that is plaguing me on this day of resolutions. So then the questions beg, "Do I attempt it anyway? Or just resign to my failure before I begin?" As I ponder these questions I begin to understand that just as assuredly as I know I will …
