It’s safe to say that whatever else is going on today, it will certainly be eclipsed by the eclipse!
Have you ever had a much anticipated event get swept aside for something else that took precedent? What do we do when life interrupts our best-laid plans and we have no plan B?
How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts! My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God. Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O…
