Satisfaction Through Christ

Remembering Mandy Kelly from Worshipful Living

Tuesday, March 21, started like any other day around our house. I got the kids off to school and came home to do some work. Around 9:30 a member of our Facebook Mastermind Group (a group of about 10 Christian women bloggers that support one another through blogging and life) posted that she'd seen some chatter on Mandy's Facebook profile and wanted to see how we could pray for her. It wasn't 20 minutes later that we all realized what was going on... Mandy, her husband Scott, and their … {Read More}

Jesus Died!

Take 11 minutes today to watch the video below (the subtitles are a little distracting, but if anything, just listen). I've posted videos of Paul Washer before and I believe he is one of the most passionate pastors out there today.He is controversial. Why? Because he speaks the truth about the gospel.

Homestudy Update

Remember this post exactly a week ago when our social worker said that she would have our homestudy done last week? Well, I never heard back from her and decided to send her an email over the weekend so that she would get it first thing in the morning on Monday. And...I never heard anything! I got in touch with her supervisor yesterday who said, "I haven't seen your homestudy at all and I … {Read More}
