A CIRCLE OF PROTECTION
A Circle of Protection by Jan Cox One winter I had visited my daughter – about one and one half hours south of our home. The day I left to return it was misty and raining.

PRAY YOUR LIVES
Pray your Lives by Jan Cox Last week I talked about staying in love – based on a sermon by Andy Stanley. He talked about love being a verb – an action word. This morning I thought of prayer this way.

PRAYER – TRY IT
Prayer – Try It by Jan Cox This has been a different type of week for me. My 94-year-old dear Mother passed away a week ago Thursday.

H.E.L.P.
