Genuine Love
I think it’s always a good idea to memorize a verse or two from the Bible. Chose one that speaks to you, and meditate on it for the entire week. I’m going to do this with this one: Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Romans 12:9 Love […]

See Ya, 2019
I think this might be the latest in the year I’ve ever done a retrospective post like this, and that should tell you all you need to know about 2019. It was busy! So busy, in fact, that I don’t have much time to look back and recognize some of the things that happened. And […]
