Tag: Hope In The Storm
All In The Perspective…
Some really dear friends and I have been doing a 22-day Bible reading challenge, we’ve been systematically working our way through John this week and a few days ago we hit chapter 5 the story of the man that Jesus heals by the pools of Bethesda. Verses 8-10 really stick out to me, I found…
