Words are Jems by Spokes

Talk doesn’t have to be cheap. In fact words should be considered expensive. Gems to be doled out carefully, thoughtfully considering how and where they land.

Staff Lessons Summer 2015

The Widji summer staff met yesterday (Sunday morning, September 6th) for our last time together. I shared from My Utmost for His Highest about the living waters that can flow out of us in Christ. A river reaches places which its source never knows. And Jesus said that, if we have received His fullness, “riversContinue reading “Staff Lessons Summer 2015”
