This may sound strange, I say it and have been saying it, but I REALLY believe it now. God’s Power and Love can do all. His will, will be done. We only need to allow him to work through us, however even when we fight him, he still will use us and get us to … [Read more…]
Well, I just found out a dear friend has been reading this. I want to give a shout out to her. I spent two years in a Diakonia class with here, and had no idea that she even knew about my blog. However, she has responded to my last post on Adult Bible study. My … [Read more…]
