Standing in The Gap - Between Two Trees

Welcome to part four of my walk with a sister through a spiritual battle. If you would like to catch up, click here for part three. If you look up the word spiritual warfare, you will read words like evil spirits, demons, possession, oppression, and strongholds. Why is it always so scary? Why do we focus on the black spirits and ghosts of our lives; when the reality is that in every battle there are always two sides. And the truth is that the other side wins! Yep, Jesus ha

One day as the owner was excitedly preparing to open the treasure chest to enjoy its cont

Did you know that birds have a digestive and respiratory system uniquely adapted for flight? Absolutely fascinating creatures, our fair weathered friends have an amazing penchant for adaptation and survival in extreme circumstances. And every year, in the spring, you will see a new crop of chicks enter the world and find their way into the big blue. Humans have a fasc
