A Christian Woman’s Response To What The Bible Has To Say About Alcohol
What does the Bible have to say about alcohol? Should Christians ever drink? Is getting drunk okay? Does the Bible ever mention alcohol in a favorable way? Let’s dig into God’s Word today and see for ourselves what the Bible has to say about alcohol! My Personal Background With Alcohol First, let’s get this on the table. I lived a sheltered childhood. Growing up in the middle of nowhere on my family’s farm/ranch operation, we didn’t have hired hands so we never really got away for trips or vacations like most people do.

Resting. How many of us want to rest? Especially as a busy wife and mother, I can say that the idea of resting sounds fantastic some days. Okay, everyday.

Wisdom Wednesday-Proverbs 31:30
In case you have not heard the hype on the news and on social media sites, I figured I better let you know that today is International Women’s Day. I don’t plan on touching on the politics of that issue today however I decided to focus my Wisdom Wednesday Proverb on well, a woman!
