That was my thought this week as I read the headline that filled me in on the lights I had seen a few nights earlier. My neighbor has been arrested for some pretty rough stuff. I met my neighbor … Continue reading Actual Neighbors
Recently Moody Publishers allowed me to review Habakkuk: Remembering God's Faithfulness When He Seems Silent by Dannah Gresh.
