So. Here we are again. It's Monday. I've got so many things on my heart as I'm sure you must have too. Some I'd rather not say and others I'd prefer to shout from the housetops. However, we shall move on.  As those of you who know this blog well, you've seen that I do…

  You give me your shield of victory,    and your right hand sustains me;    you stoop down to make me great. You broaden the path beneath me,    so that my ankles do not turn.   The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!    Exalted be God my Savior! He is the…

  Mylon LeFevre & Broken Heart was one of the best Christian bands to ever play. I love this song. Mylon almost gave up music when he committed his life to Jesus. God had other plans. He is missed.  The Lord's plans are always the right ones.  Father, thank you for your musicians and singers…

The place was immaculate. Obviously, he’d used a cleaning service. She’d collected his mail from the condominium manager’s office before coming…
