Turning Toward Sin One Yes at a Time
The road to sin or misconduct typically isn’t a 90 degree turn. Someone doesn’t just wake up one morning and think, “I’m going to try cocaine today,” “Gaining 50 pounds sounds like a good plan—I’ll get started on that today,” “I think I will cheat on my spouse today,” “Maxing […]
September Favorites
Happy fall, y’all! Being from the south, that phrase makes me happy. 🙂 I am so excited that fall is here! I love the recipes, fall leaves changing colors, reading beside the fireplace and watching some sports. Let’s focus on the good and hold on to our joy, shall we? […]
