Morning Coffee With Renae

Jonah 2:5 – 6 “The engulfing waters threatened me, the deep surrounded me; seaweed was wrapped around my head. To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you brought my life up from the pit, O LORD my God. When I was a little girl, my [...]

Jonah 1:13 Instead, the men did their best to row back to land. But they could not, for the sea grew even wilder than before. This part of the story makes me feel downright ashamed.

Well, I’m back. Sort of. For nearly two weeks, I have been in bed with severe bronchitis and laryngitis. The doctor gave me a z-pack and a codine cough suppressant. Needless to say, the codine did its job and I feel like the calendar skipped two weeks. I have a voice now, though it’s still [...]

I John 4:16-17 “And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement, because in this world we [...]
