Easter was last week, but there’s a verse I came across today in Luke 24 that has me ready to shout from the rooftops. It’s seems like a tale as old as time.

Throughout the story of Creation in Genesis 1, there’s a phrase that’s repeated seven times. (In the Bible, seven is the number of completion, perfection, fulfillment.)

Shields that Surround
There are countless wrong things in the world right now. Reminders that we weren’t created for this earth. Longings in our spirits for a better place. There’s so much darkness and weariness. On a global level, on a national level, and I’m sure on a personal level. I wish I could sit with you, dear … Continue reading Shields that Surround
