I’m the one

and when you don't see change…

Posted on January 13, 2018 by For Glory Sake!

Free-will means life has choices. Choices mean consequences. And consequences are hard to watch. Especially when those consequences hurt someone you love . “Some folks just seem to do things the hard way,” my mom used to say. The whole process makes me hate … Continue reading →
