Have you ever noticed how difficult it is to see the big picture when you’re living in the middle of it? One problem crops up, and it gets your full attention, like a little spark in the forest.

Sad Days, Promise Days and Blessed Days

Posted by Lee | 0 comments

Sometimes I have a “sad day.” Those are days when I am faced with Romans 3:23: For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
