When Faith Is Far More Than A Hobby

Here’s another amazing success story about a business founded (and owned) by devout Christians — Hobby Lobby.

What? When? Where? How?

I’ve been struggling with this post, Lord. Son-day is a time for reflection about my recent encounters with You. One in particular stood out to me the moment it happened. Somehow, I knew instantly it would become the subject of today’s post… … even though I haven’t yet fully grasped all the ways You want
