Let’s take a minute to purge. Purge out all of the unnecessary, wasteful, time-consuming fiddle-faddle. It’s back to basics, folks. Let us seek to gain health by avoiding additives and artificial elements. Open every cupboard and clean out the storage places. Clear out all of those nooks and crannies that hide the items we don’t want anyone to see. Beware of any toxins that may be lurking in your favorite ingredients so...
My daughter, Katie, told me this morning, “Now Busha knows what heaven is like?!” “Yes, Katie,” I said. “And your grandpa is there too?” “Yes, they are together again. And their bodies don’t hurt anymore and they can finally rest from all the work and labor they accomplished while they were here.” Katie smiled, and I had to re-post this article I wrote almost a year ago.

Is a Christian is technically allowed to drink? Is it just a matter of conscience as long as we don’t offend anyone? I believe technically God desires that we don’t drink at all, so that we are sure we don’t offend God. It reminds me of my own tendency to roll through a stop sign instead of stopping completely.

Does the Bible teach absolutes absolutely? Does the Bible teach some principles...
“Remember not to do it in your strength. Do it in God’s strength.” What does that mean? How does one categorize what kind of strength I’m exerting in any given circumstance? Is it a matter of focus? A matter of attitude? Priorities? Do I get more strength from God if I think about Him and pray more often? Is there some sort of extra Grace or Strength imparted to me if I DO the correct actions. Well, yes…and no. ...
I think if I hear these phrases again I’ll spit! It’s a Relationship, not a Religion. Christianity doesn’t change a person, Jesus does. Jesus is my Savior, not my religion. Religion sets rules. Jesus sets free. God has no religion. When I married my husband, I didn’t say “We have love, not a marriage.” The fact is, there are rules within our marriage that we follow to maintain our good relationship. There are certain...
