The Fruit Of Our Lives ~ A Testimony
It is the end of the second week in January. I look outside and see a thick blanket of mist covering the countryside, visibility only possible within the boundaries of our property.

This is, I suppose, more or less a modern psalm … Continue reading A Letter To God
