Bread of Life
Several years ago, I was struggling with my weight creeping up after menopause hit with a vengeance. Out of sheer frustration, I turned to the keto diet to get rid of the extra pounds.

What’s in your hands?
Why are there so many Christians who seem to never really EXPERIENCE God? As a believer in Jesus, I have struggled with this question lately.
