Sometimes You Have to Shut Up!

He Did It For Me
This entire chapter brings out so much emotion as I think of what was taking place. Jesus, with his 12 disciples, the ones he should have been able to trust the most, is revealing that they will all desert…

Don't Ask To Borrow My Supply

Don't Use the "If Only"
