The “cancel culture” has been a hot button topic since the pandemic began. It is an unfortunate mentality that most of us recoil at, scoff at, and shake our heads at.  However, I’ve realized that many of us practice “cancel culture”, too…we just spiritualize it – to our shame. We unfriend someone who calls us out on social media without

Katherine Werner, Owner of Headbands for Life Hey there, I’m Katherine, India’s sister-in-law. I started Headbands for Life just shy of a year ago.

Dear Widows, You’ve been on my heart lately.  I guess with my dad’s recent death, I’ve thought about you more than ever before.  I’ve been thinking about how it is for my mom right now…and what so many of you might be feeling, too.

Dear Christian Friend, saved by the grace of God,               When you just can’t, remember that God can.               It is true that we are sanctified people who still sin and mess up…yet I sometimes wonder…               How often do we draw attention to our flaws rather than glorify the God Who can use us beyond our human capacity?              

              When birthdays roll around at our house, I get a lot of requests for chocolate cake.  And when I’m in doubt, I usually just make chocolate cake.  Not everyone likes chocolate, but most people do!  Chocolate cake is usually a safe choice.                Chocolate cake is easy, especially when you use the most obvious recipe – the one on
