“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” –Matt. 6:21 “For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks” –Matt. 12:34b Our conversation and our words show where our heart is and thus reflect where our treasure is. I hope I treasure Christ so much that my lips can’t help but speak about Him. “Whom [...]

Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.

“You can throw it away…it’s just paper.” – Tsungai told me, as I finished photographing some of the Zim notes found around the house.

This passage mentions several times that Yahweh was with Joseph.
