Persistence 

Posted on October 14, 2017 by For Glory Sake!

The Part I Don't Like

Posted on September 8, 2016 by For Glory Sake!

How I remember days like these… sorely unpleasant. It’s the part I hate, where you wait and wait. God must have great ability to change us when we have to wait. And He still must be about changing me. Today … Continue reading →
