I don’t know how God knows and how He does it–all of us with idiosyncrasies going on and yet He speaks to them?  In my Jesus Calling book today the devotional proclaimed that God knows us best and knows our thoughts, longings, and sees us through the eyes of grace. I knew this but the timing of…

“We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.” (Abraham Lincoln) A yardstick is useful when measuring a floor for your new rug.  One inch off and you could have a problem.  My husband is excellent at eyeballing a room and estimating cost and materials.  It’s like he has this…
