24 Random Acts of Kindness Kick-off
As we approach the upcoming holiday season, we are taking a bit of a different approach this year at Rhubarb & Rubbish. God is always calling us to give of our time and talents to glorify his kingdom.

The Results of Being Unequally Yoked
2 Corinthians 6:14–“Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness.” (ESV) Fall is an amazing time of the year. All of the beautiful colors, the cooling temperatures and the preparations of putting things to rest. It is also a time when we start to think of the upcoming year, goal planning and budgeting. Some of which are not the most exciting topics.
