Though full-time employment eventually comes to an end, there’s no such thing as retirement when it comes to the Christian life.

Praying the Scriptures: Prayers for Your Pastor
I’m convinced that one of the most under appreciated groups of people are godly pastors. They give… and give… and give some more. They cry with us. They celebrate with us.

Two years ago, when my husband suddenly lost his job with a major insurance company after a decade of dedication and success, we were devastated.
