I suffer from anxiety. Sometimes it is severe, and sometimes I don’t notice it at all. When it does rear its ugly head, I have to patiently wait for it to subside.

Is it bad that just five months into 2024 my temperature blanket already covers my dining room table? I wasn’t kidding when I said it would be king-size when it is done.

Around the world, Christians are being persecuted right now…today. It is nothing new. From the times right after Jesus’ crucifixion it has happened. In the 1500s and 1600s the Covenanters sought to separate themselves from the idea of the king being the head of the church. They signed multiple covenants declaring that Jesus was King… Continue reading Blue Banner (Paid Pattern)
