STUMBLING.

Notes on a faith walk

The saying goes: 'a wise person learns from the mistakes of others'. I often wish I was the wise person but the majority of the time, I am one of the 'others' whose mistakes and mis-steps become the scholar for the wise. Stumbling (notes on a faith walk) serves as a roadmap to encourage others as they walk with God by sharing the stumbles, sermons and lessons I've learned along the way in this journey of faith. So, sit back, relax, and read on.
