Slippery When Wet – Hidden Danger.
This country road looks perfectly harmless and safe when it is dry, but come the rainy season, watch out.
experience an extraordinary God in ordinary life
Every day, Scripture speaks to ordinary life. Gleanings From the Word is a daily devotional drawn from the Bible and written for people who live in the middle of things — work, family, struggle, and ordinary Monday mornings.
Kevin Corbin has been writing these devotionals since January 1, 2001. The aim is simple: stay close to the text, say what is there, and trust that God meets us where we live.
The Lord loves ordinary people. He must, because He made so many of us.

A Broken Wing
The church is so much more than a “hospital.” It is a critical care ward for the newly resurrected and reborn. It is a rehabilitation facility for those struggling with all the world’s temptations. The church is a school to teach newborns how to live lives in Christ. It is a citizenship class preparing us for our new citizenship in the Kingdom of God
