WEDNESDAY RAMBLINGS – 4/29/20

I have been thinking what it means to be Christian and exactly what it is God wants from us as individuals. Since He made us and put us in this particular place and in this particular time, with these particular circumstances He must have some reason for it. He must...Read more

WEDNESDAY PONDERINGS – 4/15/20
