How to Carry On
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you or forsake you. (Deuteronomy 31:6) It seems each day we’ve more to fear, A pandemic and an election year. Sick of masking, washing, and being apart, We want toContinue reading “How to Carry On”
SINS
Four little letters, but a chilling word, a convicting word. In the book The Shack William Paul Young said, “Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside.” Recently I pulled out some decorative items to brighten up my apartment and give it an air of Autumn with its lovely hues in red, orange,Continue reading “SINS”
“Kinda” in my own way…
