As Christians, we live between two extremes ~ between two worlds. We have been “delivered from the power of darkness.” Our heavenly Father has “translated us—conveyed us (NKJV) into the kingdom of His dear Son.” Col.1:13 A follower of Christ knows the reality of...
2020 ~ Year of Separation
Without delving into details of this year, I want to specifically come to the subject of separation, and to quickly get to the main one that led me to write this post. Many have died from the virus. More have died from heart disease and cancer and most of these...
