Faith over Fate "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me" (Phil. 4:13). scripture played a pivotal role in my life. When I was attacked by kidney disease, degenerative spine disease, blood disorder, sleeping sickness, and several kinds of cancer; when my physical strength failed, my faith strength remained (stayed). I learned how to live well in a sick body. I would always answer when asked how I was doing with "I'm just a fine and a dandy." Romans 4:17 says, "Speaking those things that be not as though they were, and they will appear [emphasis] mine beloved." It is not enough to know about God and to live a life of deliverance in a world of destruction. You must know God in all his might. My Faith Journey is coming soon; be on the lookout for it. I pray that it will enlighten, encourage, and empower you to press onward.

A Time To Rebuild It's gone—everything Annie Hennessy, and two generations of Hennessys before her, had worked so hard to build. The devastating forest fire didn't just claim her family's Sweetheart Inn—it also burned half a town whose livelihood is wedding tourism. Now the struggle to rebuild is just beginning, and Sam Wyler's sudden reappearance isn't going to make things any easier on Annie. Nine years ago, Annie and Sam were deeply in love.
