What’s the Point?
Disclaimer: I’ll go ahead and admit off top that this blog may not be well constructed. Inspired by a scripture that I couldn’t shake and a series of “Aha” moments, I am just going to type my jumbled thoughts on the page and pray that they make sense to you like they do to me. […]
