Serve Jesus. Scrub your Toilet.
Recently I came across these verses: Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

A Hero
Memorial Day. And I thought this a fitting quote to share: To all those who have given friends, family, loved ones, and heros for my freedom – thank you. We’ll be back on Wednesday with Step 3 in our Curb Appeal {on the cheap!} series. But today, give thanks for the many freedoms we…
