Week 52
continued from Week 51 Nothing within our days of 2013 was predicted and not much of it was easy. That year which was in many ways Jesus and I’s genesis prepared me to… know to be ready for more which in our case was actually less, but ultimately for so much more. The days ahead…

Week 51

Week 43
continued from Week 42 I recognize my resistance comes from having grown up going to church but not meeting Jesus. Not only did I not meet Jesus as The Way, The Truth and The Life but church time was full of teaching what was, and was not, allowed and to me as a lost teenager,…
