It has taken me thirty-two years (I'm 43 now. I wrote this a few years ago.) to really grasp the literal meaning of God’s Word being: “powerful as a two-edged sword, piercing to the inmost parts of men.” The Bible is full of wisdom about the power of the Word.

I personally love to come across a cheap and easy meal (I'm partial to the one or two dish kind), especially here in my late pregnancy where simplifying life is important.
