Posted on July 23, 2021 by Mel Wild

Posted on June 24, 2021 by Mel Wild

I’ve said before that the key to the harvest is the HEART, not the head (see “Harvest of the Heart“). The heart is the seat of our effections; it’s what motivates us to do what we do. It’s how we … Continue reading →

Dining with Jesus

Posted on April 27, 2021 by Mel Wild

God of the Instead

Posted on April 21, 2021 by Mel Wild
