Our Daily Bread
“Come. Eat.” The Lord has been speaking to me the last few days about bread, over and over again. Bread is something we all need. Often. Give us this day our daily bread! Jesus taught us this simple prayer, one we should say to the Father when we don’t know what to pray ...

Here’s a question to ask ourselves: Is my communication helping or hurting this situation? Is what I’m about to say/write able to bring people up or down? No, seriously. Ask yourself this whenever you’re tempted to write a volatile email or spread juicy gossip. I know ...
