Pumpkin Bundt Cake
There’s something about autumn that makes me want to bake and eat pumpkin-flavored things.

Hope and a Future
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” JEREMIAH 29:11 (NIV) I have come across this verse several times in the past few weeks. It’s one of my favorites. We can always trust that God…
