I’m afraid. Why? I know God’s there.
It’s easy to get wrapped up in the bad news of the coronavirus. Your retirement is a third of what it was. You’re now not working. Your kids want answers. Your heart knows God’s in control but your flesh is [...]
COVID19 has changed us forever.
Has there ever been a time in your life where you’ve felt THIS out of control. I have to confess, early on I was scared. Not that I was going to get sick. I was just afraid. Anxious. It’s not [...]
