Princess to My Princess

As you notice in Genesis chapter eleven we start out with Sarai, which means Princess. It is possible that it was given to her at birth. If you have ever gave birth without a name already picked out you go with what comes to your mind. Here someone must have said, “What a little sarai,

Women Who Fear the Lord – Sarah

She lied, laughed at God, took things in her own hands, yet God chose to honor her in the Bible as an obedient wife. You can find Sarah’s story in Genesis 11-23. We won’t be covering the whole Genesis account. I now in Genesis 11, you can’t find Sarah’s name anywhere. That is not a

The Death of A Princess

Sarah died without seeing Issac getting married or grandkids. God had changed her name to Sarah meaning a princess over many, yet she only had one son. A child she had waited basically her whole life to have. We have seen her trust God for her protection. We have seen her lack of trust and

Not again! Didn’t they learn anything about the lie they told in Egypt? OK, we’ll give them a little slack for their age. Yet, Sarah must hide her age well. Wonder what she used?

We laugh for different reasons. Sometimes it is because you live with a teen that loves to make puns. Maybe because of a good comedy or comedian made you laugh.  Someone told you about a situation that they were in that you just doubled over in laughter. Then there is that nervous laughter you get

What Is In A Name?

Back in biblical time, the meaning of the names had a big part of who they were. Just look at Naomi in the book of Ruth. Naomi’s name means pleasantness. After her husband and sons died she returned back to her hometown and wanted everyone to call her Mara which means bitter. One of the things
