"For Such A Time As This" (Esther 4:14)
TRUSTING GOD IN TIMES OF PERIL
I began this blog over four years ago in the midst of COVID mania. It was the means by which I could best keep my mind on things above and not on the madness of this earth in obedience to God’s command in Colossians 3:1-2, and to present God’s offer of true peace, comfort and […]
