Confession time: I have a sweet tooth. Like, a big one. I also enjoy cooking and baking...sometimes. I typically send a plate of whatever treat I've made with my officer to the station...because if not, I'm totally going to eat them all! A lot of the times I make basic cookies or bars, but today … Continue reading thin blue line brownie sandwiches

Last week we talked about the importance of proclaiming truth over our homes. God's word is powerful! It has meaning. We also can proclaim truths over our officers. I have always prayed for my officer (even when we were kids), but since he has become a part of this blue life my prayers have shifted … Continue reading speaking truths over our officers

Verse: 2 Corinthians 12:9 says "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
