Have you ever had a confusing conversation with someone and realized that they (or you) were using the wrong word, and talking about something completely different?
Active Inspiration

Even at our lowest points, Jesus is good to His word. He has proven it, and will remain with us through our trials to the end.
Faces on a Passing Train
With experience, we find that both the good times and the bad times come and go. What do we do during the bad times, though?
Spread the Word
When we have good news, the natural reaction is to share it. Sometimes, when the rough times come, we have to search a little bit for things to be thankful for, but they can be found.

The Power of Choice
Sometimes, the difference in the paths our lives take depends on a choice that we make at a key time. The good news is that the most important choice remains open for us to seize, even if we previously made the wrong decision.
