We are called to walk by faith. The just shall live by faith. Hebrews 10:38 Sometimes the meaning of faith can be rather elusive, though. We may get the picture of some invisible force holding our hand as we stumble along blindfolded. This picture is what you might call blind faith. I have come to […]

Creating a birth sukkah–Bible verses
I printed some verses to look at during my labor with Noah 2 1/2 years ago. They were a great comfort to me. I was anxious to add a few to my list for this baby due in about 10 weeks, give or take a few. I found some printable verses specifically chosen for labor […]
