It probably won’t settle completely until next weekend as a new rhythm is established. Still, so much has happened in three days. New patterns: Trying to establish [...]
I was reading in my personal time with God this morning about King David. King David was king over all Israel about 3000 years ago. The Bible describes him as a man after God’s own heart. He did a lot of good things, but he also did a lot of bad things in his life. [...]
