Justice Calling

by | Jun 10, 2016 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

Almost Like Being In Love

by | Jun 8, 2016 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  I am not a romance novel reader. My mom and aunt would read Harlequin romance novels. I remember when my mom died we got rid of several bag fulls. I read one once and I was not impressed. First, I don’t believe that men act like that. I guess that is why these...

How Would Jesus Vote?

by | May 19, 2016 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

    When I was younger I remember my father saying to me to never talk about politics and religion, because that is one way to start a war with someone.  In Darrell L. Bock’s book “How Would Jesus Vote?” That is exactly what Bock talks about. I have seen...

Focus Word: Worship

by | May 18, 2016 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

One of my focus words this year was worship. Worship to me has a lot of negative connotations to it for me. I have seen many who worship God to hurt people and when someone doesn’t worship the way they do, they judge them. The truth is worship is deeply personal. It...

Close To You

by | Apr 22, 2016 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

In exchange for my review I was given a free copy of Close to you by Kara Isaac. The opinions expressed are my own.   I am not much for romance novels. The overly sexualize image of a man on a horse who is going to somehow become my knight in shining armor while...

Fervent

by | Mar 26, 2016 | Books/Music, The Magnificent Journey

  Have you watched the movie War Room? I did. Let me tell you that I was inspired to look at my prayer life. I then bought the book Fervent by Priscilla Shirer that the movie War Room is based from. I learned a lot about how Satan attacks me. Reading through all...
