Faith Words: Skin Deep

Yesterday, I had a skin cancer removed from my nose.  It was my first personal experience with skin cancer and its removal.  A very talented doctor, Dr. Russell Akin, performed Mohs surgery on my beak to clear it of the parasitic enemy.  The procedure is 98%-99% effective and Dr. Akin is highly skilled, so I'm very hopeful that his work will indeed prove to be successful.

Faith Words: Pray

If you haven't seen War Room yet, I urge you to go soon - not to have a remarkable time at the movies (which you will) or to boost the movie's ratings (which you will) - but because this movie carries a message each of us needs to hear:  Prayer changes everything. Our Father God has given us every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus and one of those powerful - power-filled - gifts is prayer.
