Then I got Covid. Then Tanya got Covid. Somehow, during that time we started going through ourContinue reading “Alaska Vacation”

Yesterday I wrote, “I’ve had a touch of Pneumonia this past week. I’m better now.I’m told not to make declarations like that. Acknowledging an illness. But, the Lord reminded me of Paul’s asking for his thorn in the flesh to be removed.” Scripture goes on to say in 2 CORINTHIANS 12:9-10 But he said toContinue reading “New Day, Old Promises”
