TETHERED TO GOD
Tethered to God A little while ago we took our grandchildren to their other grandparents. My son-in-law had carefully moved the two car seats from the family car to our truck.

SIMPLY SATURDAY – Backwards

I had always interpreted that as being: if I am in His will and I ask, seek and knock He will answer me. I still believe that to be true but Oswald told me that I… Continue reading SIMPLY SATURDAY – Backwards
