Christian stories of broken souls finding God and romance Jesus never promised a life of sweetness and nice; He promises hope. The weakest flame is stronger than the dark.

Sunday Scripture
Psalms 27:12-13 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty. I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.

Favorite Book Friday
Charming Artemis (The Lancaster Family series Book 5) by Sarah M. Eden Regency romance. A perfect end to three series, The Gents, The Lancasters, and The Jonquil Brothers. I don't own all the books in the first or third series yet, but I'm working on it. I want to read them in chronological order, which Sarah M. Eden provides on her website. Keeper!
