[My sheep know my voice] A Short Story Yesterday morning was a typical morning. I woke up, grabbed my tablet, and got cracking on one of my blog pieces! I was thoroughly enjoying it too. However, my thoughts are many, so I was editing to reduce my work in length. By the time I was … Continue reading Spring Beak!
The Backseat Flyer – Part 2
[To strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him] In Part 1 of this 3 part series I simplified the message that Jesus drove home to His Disciples: distressing things would occur, but they would have peace in Him.
