Sudden pain all over, The gift of hard work, Upsets my determined love. It was freeing to be, Someone who could labor, For the ministry of the saints.

Yet, it's worth every … Continue reading Poem: The Gift of Hard Work

Sunday Reflection: Bolt the Door
Thwarting sin can be grueling. A door can be opened. A door to your heart you never thought could be accessible.
