That Little Word “All”

Grief is a strange companion. It walks quietly along side you for days, and then suddenly, without warning, demands your full attention, I’ve had a couple of those days. I didn’t even want to go to church this morning and went out of a sense of duty more than desire. In our prayer time between […]
