I am famous for looking around at my house where the laundry is piling up, the dishwasher is full and the counter is overflowing with more dirty dishes ready to go in, and piles of dog hair blowing around like debris in the desert like in some old Country movie, feeling as though my…
Christmas is over and we prepare for a New Year to arrive. Winter arrives in some aggressive ways depending on where you live. The days are short and more darkness abounds, both in the sky and in the World. Our enemy is really good at discouraging us with His lies that consistently pop into…
