    I was looking for more information on Ora Rowan and Christina Rosetti. It is encouraging to see so many thoughtful pieces honoring Jesus and sharing His truth by my sisters. Thank you for your work in preparing and maintaining this website. Blessings!

  • “God is sovereign, that is He is the boss. He is in control. He is the supreme ruler of heaven and earth for all of eternity. He is Lord. We don’t make Him Lord. He is Lord. And joy comes when we acknowledge that He is Lord; we rest in His Lordship. We trust His sovereignty, and we surrender to it. That means that God has the right to give, and God has the right to take away.” – Nancy DeMoss
