What is Your Favorite Verse?

There are many verses in the Bible that have strengthened and encouraged me. My all-time favorite verse is Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength." This has been an encouragement to me through high school, college and the first years of marriage. I know that through some pretty rough times, it was God's strength that carried me.

What is your favorite verse and why?

To Die or Not to Die...That is the Question

I heard this quote recently, "Is this the hill I want to die on?" Now I ask myself that a lot. Especially when dealing with confrontation and even simply, when dealing with my children. I also ask myself, "I know how they are acting is wrong, but is it my job to settle their differences?" Sometimes it is and other times it is not. Sometimes my children need to resolve it themselves. And sometimes, if I ignore the situation, they work it out on their own. I can usually do laundry in a corner and tune out the voices. Can you? To Die or Not to Die...That is the Questions!
