Two Boxes of Rice

I drove to a local supermarket the other day. My shopping list was long and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a week’s worth of groceries for my family.

God’s good, and I will Keep The Faith.” “Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?” “Yes.” “Are you good or evil?” “The Bible says I’m evil.” The professor grins knowingly. “Aha! The Bible!” He considers for a moment. “Here’s one for you. Let’s say there’s a sick person over here...

Grace Multiplied

Lindsey spread out on her dorm room bed stressed by the closeness of finals and the lack of funds she needed to get through the week. Lindsey needed a break from her studies, so she hopped up and checked her purse to see how much money she had left to spend on food. Four dollars and fifty-eight cents did not sound like a lot of money considering there were three days left before she got paid. Lindsey devised a plan to budget the money and opted for a trip to the corner market for a loaf of bread and a...
