Yes! He Did It!

One of the most difficult things to do is wait. When you are on your way to work with public transportation, it’s annoying when the buses and trains are not on schedule.

Godly Women

Some time ago, I spoke to someone who asked, “Where are the godly women?” I was surprised by that question, but I must admit, I wonder about that sometimes myself. There was a time that they were easy to identify but as times change, what we considered godly changed also. God never changes so His … Continue reading Godly Women
