Because of Grace we Press On
I have a decision to make; an expensive decision. Maybe you’ve been there. Maybe you’re in the middle of one now. Every night, I read myself to sleep.

Have you ever had a day where everything went right? Yeh, me either. Have you ever had a day where everything went wrong? Well . . . of course not. But did you hesitate on your answer to that one? We know that rarely does everything go wrong in a single day, but I have … Read more
