    Today in church, Pastor Sumrall’s sermon reminded me of the importance of setting God’s wisdom as a guide for our actions, ensuring that we become a blessing to others.

  • If only I could tell what bothers me

    It’s been a while since I could write multiple blog entries in one sitting. As a matter of fact, there have been days that I don’t feel like writing at all. I know I should have had because my personal goal is to blog daily, but the lazy bones were at work, and I just Read more
