Another Season
Ecclesiastes 3:1, “For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven.” A couple of my blog followers have contacted me wondering if I am still alive as it’s been almost two weeks since my last blog. I am still alive and feeling pretty relieved right now. Over the last couple of…
