Pause – Why? In this busy, crazy world why bother to pause? Why stop in the moment and let go? The answer is compelling for both spiritual and perhaps surprisingly physical reasons. First in Psalm 46:10 (NIV) God says,: “Be still and know that I am God.” Trust God and listen for that quiet still voice. Don’t miss
The phrase, “Reach Out and Touch,” reminds me of the story in the Bible of a woman with an issue of blood in Luke 8:43-48.

Usually, the word “legacy” suggests money or property that is left by a family member or really close friend at the time of their death.
