Pause – a special tribute to the memory of Charlie Kirk
There are times in our lives that we just need to pause. Now, there is no time definition of a pause, like when we stop our activity or thoughts for one minute or even longer.

- It seemes a strange word to focus on this week, right? Call me crazy, but I kept feeling this prompting to open my bible to any random page and blindly point to a word. At first, I ignored it; but this little nudge in my mind wouldn’t leave. So, my feet carried me to… Continue reading Feet
