Various translations of Genesis 1:1-2 describe the earth as formless, void, empty, a waste covered by deep waters and surrounded by darkness where the Spirit of God hovered, brooded, moved over the surface.

by Sandra Allen Lovelace @SandraALovelace #WallflowerWomen #TimetobeYOU! Uncertainty invades my heart at the end of any given year. Questions pop up like an unexpected movement in the corner of my eye. My mind jerks around to identify the source of the unease. Will the change be positive or negative? Can I stay on course or…
by Sandra Allen Lovelace @SandraALovelace #WallflowerWomen #TimetobeYOU! This month has been busy for me. In addition to a multiple-stop, business-pleasure trip across the US and back, I’ve been posting daily devotional videos titled Advent Readings for the Family.
