I heard an explanation for the song/saying/scripture “As the deer pants for the water…” it went something like this: A lot of us believe that is saying the deer is thirsty. Like all he needs is a sip of water. But that’s NOT so. The thing is when a deer is being chased it heads…

Paths and Pathways
Paths are a funny thing. Some are winding. Some are straight. There are some that may be covered in brambles and haven’t seen daylight in ages. Yet, they all lead somewhere
So, God knows my Heart
“God knows my heart.”
That statement is usually said before, during, or immediately after doing something that we as Christians have no business doing at all…
