I had the great pleasure of watching my 3 year old grandson the other weekend. It was such a joy to be able to see him run around, grab my hand and say, “Na-Na play with me.” I got down on all fours (which let me tell you is not so easy as it was when I was younger) and …
Unjust Peace by Nichole Ridner
“Yet even then their testimony did not agree.” Mark 14:59 It has never surprised me that Jesus was charged and convicted unjustly.

I’ve secured three authors for possible endorsement (I can’t release their names, of course) who will be reading the manuscript in November, so if you think of it, please pray for the Lord’s favor.
