The Latest on the Blog
I know it's almost February but it is soooo cold outside. Here in North Georgia, the weather is as unpredictable as it gets. One day, we're breaking out our warmest winter clothes and the next day, we're pulling out our shorts and t-shirts. I remember one year way back, we had an ice storm. The next day, my mother and I were laying out in the sun in swimsuits while we watched the ice melt off the house. It was late March. (Please don't lay in the sun.

It's easy to get used to a regular routine, staying just comfortable enough to be comfortable where I am. Jesus said, "Go deeper."
When He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” - Luke 5:4When we resolve to "go deeper" in obedience to God - to reach out beyond our comfort zone, obedience yields amazing results. [Read more here.]
