How To Change An Old Habit (Like a Tired Bedtime Routine!)

By Christie Thomas 1 Comment

Welcome back to The Power of Simple Habits!

Why I’m not going trick-or-treating this Halloween

By Christie Thomas 10 Comments

It comes every year: cinnamon-scented air, delicious desserts eaten without regrets, knitted sweaters snuggling our upper bodies in […]

How To Love God With All Your Mind

By Christie Thomas 3 Comments

Learning how to love God with all your mind can be a powerful tool toward connecting with God!   [x_line] Hunched over my Bible, I sat on the floor in the hallway of the physics building during my first year of university. It may not have been the most effective place for quiet time with […]
