It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. (Galatians 5:1 NIV) Time Forward Friday! This weekend marks time to move our clocks forward. Excitement is in the air. Winter has been long for many of us. Spring represents a time of new birth. What once looked dead is new with life. While lilies prepare to bloom, dormant trees will cover our landscapes with fresh green leaves and new buds. Bears and other animals come out of hibernation. Time to awaken. Awareness I […]
