Life is too short to not be myself…
This has become a difficult thing for me. My lens has changed and what I read is … confusing… frustrating… Today, I’m reading John 12:36b-43 and it’s titled, in my Bible, “The Unbelief of the People.” So, if you remember from yesterday, a voice from heaven came down, and some thought it thunder and others...

“We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies.”— 2 Corinthians 4:8-10 “In you, O Lord, I see...
