16-18Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. Elijah, for instance, human just like us, prayed hard that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't—not a drop for three and a half years. Then he prayed that it would rain, and it did. The showers came and everything started growing again.
James 5:6 MSG
Bottom line...we need to stick together and be honest with each other. So often we come to church hidden behind forced smiles, and we answer "fine" when someone inquires about how we are. Let's just be honest with each other and stand united. Life happens best in true biblical community. A cord of 3 strands is not easily broken.

This started as a way for Stacy and I to focus our attentions on Things From Above instead of the distractions, heart aches, disappointments, and false truths the world throws our way. I hope that through our sharings, all who read will be able to come closer to understanding the fullness of God's amazing love. ~Tamara
