Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them (Psalm 111:2). The Grand Canyon has been on my “bucket list” since I can remember. I’m an OG (Old Guy) now but I can remember seeing photos of the Canyon as a NG (New Guy) in grade school and thinking… I want to

We take every thought captive to obey Christ (2 Corinthians 10:5). Have you ever had one thought that spiraled into out-of-control negative emotions?
