We are so excited to announce that Whispers & Fringes has published our first YouVersion devotional plan – The Battles Women Face. Check out the link below to subscribe to the plan. These devotions, like the posts you read every week, were written by our team of leaders. We believe that you and hopefully many
We were on a road trip…and guess where we ended up for dinner? (Hint: check out the sign in the back). Talk about comfort zone. It was safe. It was predictable. We knew what to expect. We left full. The next day, my husband consulted Yelp and we ended up at a local spot. It
Which would you rather deal with: a whale or a worm? If you’re like me, you may have just yelled (at least in your mind) a resounding, “NEITHER!”. But play along with me for a minute because I promise I am going somewhere with this. If I absolutely had to choose, I would go with the
Life can be stressful. Most days, we can roll with the punches. Other days, not so much. I woke up on Friday morning feeling like there was a weight on my chest. I had been dealing with a particular situation and it was beginning to consume me. I had done everything I could. I talked

Dear Graduate, Congratulations :-). High school is done…and now you are about to enter a really great time of your life. Talk to the older folks like me and they will tell you…College was some of the best years of our lives. It was a lot of fun and tons of great memories. But I
Are you praying together with your husband? I grew up in a home where we read the Bible and prayed together, every single night. I’m not saying that my sister & I always stayed awake but we were present and accounted for. When I got married, I envisioned doing the same thing with my husband…minus
I love Indian food. That probably doesn’t surprise you because, after all, I am Indian. Maybe this will surprise you: my ability to cook Indian food is…let’s say…limited. I can make one thing that is truly the food of my people – chicken curry – and the only reason I can do that is because
Forgiveness – What Does It Really Mean?
