1 Corinthians 10:12-13 reminds me that none of us are too clean or holy as it instructs to keep watching out lest I fall and don't know it but 13 is what really hits me because it says no temptation, absolutely none, is uncommon to man. Regardless of how uncomfortable and probably disturbing it may... Continue Reading →
Mental Monday! Family!
There are days I sit, quiz myself as to how some of my best mates are my family. The reason my family are also my friends and why I love them so much has never been more obvious to me than in this 2020 season, and why Today's Mental Monday is, Family. Hi and welcome... Continue Reading →

30 Day Poetry Challenge; Day 18
