4:20 – Expanding Opportunities #faithbites #faithjourney expanding Setting In my lifetime I have seen many exciting and dismaying events. Today, I want to focus on those that expanded opportunities.

4:9 – Right Message, Wrong Messenger #faithbites #faithjourney message Setting Today I was involved in a very heated debate on Facebook. It was around politics and beliefs.

Accept The Hand #faithbites #faithjourney ground Setting It’s a cool morning in Bloomington, Illinois and my youngest wanted to ride her scooter while I took our dog for a walk.

3:272 – His Words, Our Voice #faithbites #faithjourney words Setting Last night I had a dream about a good friend.

3:265 – God’s Law or Man’s Law? #faithbites #faithjourney law Setting My heart hurts as an American Christian. I know what the bible says and I know that our laws don’t match.
