What measuring stick do we use to find out how well we are doing? The right measurement can actually lift us higher.

Turning to God for wisdom

SECOND THOUGHT

[Excerpts from a column by a Methodist minister]

Christian healing opens our eyes to what God has already done, to the wholeness of what divine Love creates.
