The Simple Life: Week Three

One Thing and Living

“For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him Crucified.” 1 Corinthians 2:1-2

Jane and I welcome you back to Week Three of The Simple Life! We are very excited to continue this journey with you into the simple. We pray that you are learning to find simpleness and peace in your life by focusing on one thing–Jesus. May you continue to answer God’s call God to leave the complicated and embrace the simple.
